Deuteronomy 15:1-23
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.
Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need. Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near,” so that you do not show ill will toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
If a fellow Hebrews a man or a womam seeks himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free. And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
Set apart for the Lord your God every firstborn male of your herds and flocks. Do not put the firstborn of your oxen to work, and do not shear the firstborn of your sheep. Each year you and your family are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose.
Seventh year. Every seven year the debts of fellow-Israelite must be cancelled and all fellow-Israelite slaves must be set free.
Why?
God make a fair well society of God’s kingdom. For God is love.
So these canceling debts and set free if the slaves good to the mercy of everyone in our neighbor.
How?
Love everyone with God’s love and righteousness. Love is includes in righteousness.
