Deuteronomio 15:3

3 Tu potrai riscuotere i tuoi crediti dallo straniere; ma rimetti al tuo fratello ciò ch’egli avrà del tuo.

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 IN capo d’ogni settimo anno, celebra l’anno della remissione.

2 E questa sia l’ordinazione della remissione: Rimetta ogni creditore ciò ch’egli avrà dato in presto al suo prossimo; non riscuotalo dal suo prossimo, e dal suo fratello; conciossiachè la remissione del Signore sia stata bandita.

3 Tu potrai riscuotere i tuoi crediti dallo straniere; ma rimetti al tuo fratello ciò ch’egli avrà del tuo.

4 Come che sia, non siavi alcun bisognoso fra te; perciocchè il Signore ti benedirà largamente, nel paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà, in eredità, per possederlo.

5 Purchè del tutto tu ubbidisca alla voce del Signore Iddio tuo, per osservar di mettere in opera tutti questi comandamenti che io ti do oggi.
