- At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
- This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Yahweh's release has been proclaimed.
- Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of your is with your brother your hand shall release.
- However there shall be no poor with you; (for Yahweh will surely bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it;)
- if only you diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.
- For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
- If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
- but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wants.
- Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand;" and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.
- You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.
- For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
- If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
- When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:
- you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress; as Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
- You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.
- It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you;" because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
- then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
- It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do.
- All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to Yahweh your God: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
- You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household.
- If it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God.
- You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
- Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

- מקץ שבע־שנים תעשה שמטה׃
- וזה דבר השמטה שמוט כל־בעל משה ידו אשר ישה ברעהו לא־יגש את־רעהו ואת־אחיו כי־קרא שמטה ליהוה׃
- את־הנכרי תגש ואשר יהיה לך את־אחיך תשמט ידך׃
- אפס כי לא יהיה־בך אביון כי־ברך יברךך יהוה בארץ אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן־לך נחלה לרשתה׃
- רק אם־שמוע תשמע בקול יהוה אלהיך לשמר לעשות את־כל־המצוה הזאת אשר אנכי מצוך היום׃
- כי־יהוה אלהיך ברךך כאשר דבר־לך והעבטת גוים רבים ואתה לא תעבט ומשלת בגוים רבים ובך לא ימשלו׃ ס
- כי־יהיה בך אביון מאחד אחיך באחד שעריך בארצך אשר־יהוה אלהיך נתן לך לא תאמץ את־לבבך ולא תקפץ את־ידך מאחיך האביון׃
- כי־פתח תפתח את־ידך לו והעבט תעביטנו די מחסרו אשר יחסר לו׃
- השמר לך פן־יהיה דבר עם־לבבך בליעל לאמר קרבה שנת־השבע שנת השמטה ורעה עינך באחיך האביון ולא תתן לו וקרא עליך אל־יהוה והיה בך חטא׃
- נתון תתן לו ולא־ירע לבבך בתתך לו כי בגלל הדבר הזה יברךך יהוה אלהיך בכל־מעשך ובכל משלח ידך׃
- כי לא־יחדל אביון מקרב הארץ על־כן אנכי מצוך לאמר פתח תפתח את־ידך לאחיך לעניך ולאבינך בארצך׃ ס
- כי־ימכר לך אחיך העברי או העבריה ועבדך שש שנים ובשנה השביעת תשלחנו חפשי מעמך׃
- וכי־תשלחנו חפשי מעמך לא תשלחנו ריקם׃
- העניק תעניק לו מצאנך ומגרנך ומיקבך אשר ברךך יהוה אלהיך תתן־לו׃
- וזכרת כי עבד היית בארץ מצרים ויפדך יהוה אלהיך על־כן אנכי מצוך את־הדבר הזה היום׃
- והיה כי־יאמר אליך לא אצא מעמך כי אהבך ואת־ביתך כי־טוב לו עמך׃
- ולקחת את־המרצע ונתתה באזנו ובדלת והיה לך עבד עולם ואף לאמתך תעשה־כן׃
- לא־יקשה בעינך בשלחך אתו חפשי מעמך כי משנה שכר שכיר עבדך שש שנים וברךך יהוה אלהיך בכל אשר תעשה׃ ף
- כל־הבכור אשר יולד בבקרך ובצאנך הזכר תקדיש ליהוה אלהיך לא תעבד בבכר שורך ולא תגז בכור צאנך׃
- לפני יהוה אלהיך תאכלנו שנה בשנה במקום אשר־יבחר יהוה אתה וביתך׃
- וכי־יהיה בו מום פסח או עור כל מום רע לא תזבחנו ליהוה אלהיך׃
- בשעריך תאכלנו הטמא והטהור יחדו כצבי וכאיל׃
- רק את־דמו לא תאכל על־הארץ תשפכנו כמים׃ ף

- Septimo anno facies remissionem,
- quæ hoc ordine celebrabitur. Cui debetur aliquid ab amico vel proximo ac fratre suo, repetere non poterit, quia annus remissionis est Domini.
- A peregrino et advena exiges : civem et propinquum repetendi non habebis potestatem.
- Et omnino indigens et mendicus non erit inter vos : ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in terra, quam traditurus est tibi in possessionem.
- Si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et custodieris universa quæ jussit, et quæ ego hodie præcipio tibi, benedicet tibi, ut pollicitus est.
- Fœnerabis gentibus multis, et ipse a nullo accipies mutuum. Dominaberis nationibus plurimis, et tui nemo dominabitur.
- Si unus de fratribus tuis, qui morantur intra portas civitatis tuæ in terra quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi, ad paupertatem venerit, non obdurabis cor tuum, nec contrahes manum,
- sed aperies eam pauperi, et dabis mutuum, quo eum indigere perspexeris.
- Cave ne forte subrepat tibi impia cogitatio, et dicas in corde tuo : Appropinquat septimus annus remissionis : et avertas oculos tuos a paupere fratre tuo, nolens ei quod postulat mutuum commodare : ne clamet contra te ad Dominum, et fiat tibi in peccatum.
- Sed dabis ei : nec ages quippiam callide in ejus necessitatibus sublevandis, ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni tempore, et in cunctis ad quæ manum miseris.
- Non deerunt pauperes in terra habitationis tuæ : idcirco ego præcipio tibi, ut aperias manum fratri tuo egeno et pauperi, qui tecum versatur in terra.
- Cum tibi venditus fuerit frater tuus Hebræus aut Hebræa, et sex annis servierit tibi, in septimo anno dimittes eum liberum :
- et quem libertate donaveris, nequaquam vacuum abire patieris :
- sed dabis viaticum de gregibus, et de area, et torculari tuo, quibus Dominus Deus tuus benedixerit tibi.
- Memento quod et ipse servieris in terra Ægypti, et liberaverit te Dominus Deus tuus, et idcirco ego nunc præcipio tibi.
- Sin autem dixerit : Nolo egredi : eo quod diligat te, et domum tuam, et bene sibi apud te esse sentiat :
- assumes subulam, et perforabis aurem ejus in janua domus tuæ, et serviet tibi usque in æternum. Ancillæ quoque similiter facies.
- Non avertas ab eis oculos tuos, quando dimiseris eos liberos, quoniam juxta mercedem mercenarii per sex annos servivit tibi : ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus quæ agis.
- De primogenitis, quæ nascuntur in armentis, et in ovibus tuis, quidquid est sexus masculini, sanctificabis Domino Deo tuo. Non operaberis in primogenito bovis, et non tondebis primogenita ovium.
- In conspectu Domini Dei tui comedes ea per annos singulos in loco quem elegerit Dominus, tu et domus tua.
- Sin autem habuerit maculam, vel claudum fuerit, vel cæcum, aut in aliqua parte deforme vel debile, non immolabitur Domino Deo tuo :
- sed intra portas urbis tuæ comedes illud : tam mundus quam immundus similiter vescentur eis, quasi caprea et cervo.
- Hoc solum observabis, ut sanguinem eorum non comedas, sed effundes in terram quasi aquam.

- At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
- And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it;he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
- Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
- Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
- Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
- For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they shall not reign over thee.
- If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
- But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
- Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
- Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
- For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
- And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman , be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
- And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
- Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
- And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
- And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
- Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
- It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
- All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
- Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
- And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
- Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
- Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
