Deuteronomio 15:12-15

12 Si un hermano tuyo, hebreo o hebrea, te es vendido, te servirá por seis años, pero al séptimo año lo pondrás en libertad.

13 Y cuando lo libertes, no lo enviarás con las manos vacías.

14 Le abastecerás liberalmente de tu rebaño, de tu era y de tu lagar; le darás conforme te haya bendecido el SEÑOR tu Dios.

15 Y te acordarás que fuiste esclavo en la tierra de Egipto, y que el SEÑOR tu Dios te redimió; por eso te ordeno esto hoy.

Deuteronomio 15:12-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 15

This chapter treats of a release of debts every seventh year, to which a blessing is promised if attended to, De 15:1-6, which seventh year of release should not hinder lending to a poor man in distress, even though it was nigh at hand, De 15:7-11 and of letting servants go free, whether manservant or maidservant, at the end of six years' servitude, De 15:12-15 but if unwilling to go, and desirous of staying, must have his ear bored through with an awl, and serve to the year of jubilee, De 15:16-18 and of sanctifying and eating the firstlings of the herd and flock where the Lord directs, De 15:19-23.
