1
At the end of every seven years, you must tell those who owe you anything that they do not have to pay you back.
2
This is how you must do it: Everyone who has loaned money must cancel the loan and not make a neighbor or relative pay it back. This is the Lord's time for canceling what people owe.
3
You may make a foreigner pay what is owed to you, but you must not collect what another Israelite owes you.
4
But there should be no poor people among you, because the Lord your God will richly bless you in the land he is giving you as your own.
5
He will bless you if you obey the Lord your God completely, but you must be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today.
