Deuteronomio 15:3

3 De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, mas tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga.

Deuteronomio 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 15:3

Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again
Either on the seventh year, or after it:

but that which is thine with thy brother, thine hand shall release;
a debt that lies between them, where the one is the creditor, and the other debtor, the creditor shall freely and fully forgive the debtor. So those only are released or forgiven by the Lord who are his own, whom he has reserved for himself, or chosen to everlasting life; who are interested in the covenant of his grace, one article in which is the forgiveness of sins; and who are redeemed by the blood of Christ, a branch of which redemption is remission of sin; and who are called by grace, and believe in Christ, to whom pardon of sins is promised; but those who are foreigners and strangers, and are not the Lord's chosen, redeemed, and called people, have no share in this blessing of grace; nor such who are rich in their own esteem, and need nothing; but those who are poor and unable to pay their debts, and are sensible of their spiritual poverty, and apply to the Lord for the forgiveness of their sins.

Deuteronomio 15:3 In-Context

1 Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas.

2 Así se hará la remisión: todo acreedor hará remisión de lo que haya prestado a su prójimo; no lo exigirá de su prójimo ni de su hermano, porque se ha proclamado la remisión del SEÑOR.

3 De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, mas tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga.

4 Y no habrá menesteroso entre vosotros, ya que el SEÑOR de cierto te bendecirá en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredad para poseerla,

5 si sólo escuchas fielmente la voz del SEÑOR tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy.
