Año de remisión
15 Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas(A). 2 Así se hará[a] la remisión: todo acreedor[b] 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[c] cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga[d](B). 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(C), 5 si solo escuchas fielmente la voz del Señor tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy. 6 Pues el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá como te ha prometido, y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado; y tendrás dominio sobre muchas naciones, pero ellas no tendrán dominio sobre ti(D).
7 Si hay un menesteroso contigo, uno de tus hermanos, en cualquiera de tus ciudades[e](E) en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da, no endurecerás tu corazón, ni cerrarás tu mano a tu hermano pobre(F), 8 sino que le abrirás libremente tu mano(G), y con generosidad le prestarás lo que le haga falta para cubrir sus necesidades. 9 Cuídate de que no haya pensamiento perverso[f] en tu corazón, diciendo: «El séptimo año, el año de remisión, está cerca(H)», y mires con malos ojos a[g] tu hermano pobre, y no le des nada(I); porque[h] él podrá clamar al Señor contra ti, y esto te será pecado(J). 10 Con generosidad le darás, y no te dolerá el corazón cuando le des, ya que el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá por esto en todo tu trabajo y en todo lo que emprendas[i](K). 11 Porque nunca faltarán pobres en tu[j] tierra(L); por eso te ordeno, diciendo: «Con liberalidad abrirás tu mano a tu hermano, al[k] necesitado y al[l] pobre en tu tierra».
12 Si un hermano tuyo, hebreo o hebrea, te es vendido, te servirá por seis años, pero al séptimo año lo pondrás en libertad[m](M). 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. 16 Y sucederá que si él te dice: «No me iré de tu lado», porque te ama a ti y a tu casa, pues le va bien contigo, 17 entonces tomarás una lezna y horadarás su oreja contra la puerta, y será tu siervo para siempre(N). Y lo mismo harás a tu sierva. 18 No te parezca duro cuando lo dejes en libertad[n], porque te ha dado seis años con el doble del servicio[o] de un jornalero; y el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá en todo lo que hagas.
19 Todo primogénito que nazca de tu ganado y de tu rebaño consagrarás al Señor tu Dios(O); no trabajarás con el primogénito de tu ganado ni trasquilarás el primogénito de tu rebaño. 20 Lo comerás tú y tu casa cada año delante del Señor tu Dios(P) en el lugar que el Señor escoja. 21 Pero si tiene algún defecto, si es cojo o ciego o con cualquier otro defecto grave, no lo sacrificarás al Señor tu Dios(Q). 22 Lo comerás dentro de tus ciudades[p]; el inmundo lo mismo que el limpio pueden comerlo, como se come una gacela o un ciervo(R). 23 Solo que no comerás su sangre; la derramarás como agua sobre la tierra(S).

The Year for Canceling Debts(A)
15 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.(B) 2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed. 3 You may require payment from a foreigner,(C) but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you. 4 However, there need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless(D) you, 5 if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow(E) all these commands I am giving you today. 6 For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.(F)
7 If anyone is poor(G) among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted(H) toward them. 8 Rather, be openhanded(I) and freely lend them whatever they need. 9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,(J) is near,” so that you do not show ill will(K) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.(L) 10 Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;(M) then because of this the Lord your God will bless(N) you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. 11 There will always be poor people(O) in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.(P)
Freeing Servants(Q)(R)
12 If any of your people—Hebrew men or women—sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free.(S) 13 And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. 14 Supply them liberally from your flock, your threshing floor(T) and your winepress. Give to them as the Lord your God has blessed you. 15 Remember that you were slaves(U) in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you.(V) That is why I give you this command today.
16 But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 17 then take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your female servant.
18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because their service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
The Firstborn Animals
19 Set apart for the Lord(W) your God every firstborn male(X) of your herds and flocks.(Y) Do not put the firstborn of your cows to work, and do not shear the firstborn of your sheep.(Z) 20 Each year you and your family are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose.(AA) 21 If an animal has a defect,(AB) is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.(AC) 22 You are to eat it in your own towns. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it, as if it were gazelle or deer.(AD) 23 But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.(AE)

The Sabbatical Year
15 “At the end of (A)every seven years you shall grant a release. 2 And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the Lord's release has been proclaimed. 3 (B)Of a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release. 4 (C)But there will be no poor among you; (D)for the Lord will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess— 5 (E)if only you will strictly obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today. 6 For the Lord your God will bless you, (F)as he promised you, and (G)you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and (H)you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
7 “If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, (I)you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, 8 but (J)you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. 9 Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your (K)eye look grudgingly[a] on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he (L)cry to the Lord against you, and (M)you be guilty of sin. 10 You shall give to him freely, and (N)your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because (O)for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 11 For (P)there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, (Q)‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
12 (R)“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold[b] to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13 And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. 14 You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. (S)As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. 15 (T)You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today. 16 But (U)if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you, 17 then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave[c] forever. And to your female slave[d] you shall do the same. 18 It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for at half the cost of a hired worker he has served you six years. So the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
19 (V)“All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and flock you shall dedicate to the Lord your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. 20 (W)You shall eat it, you and your household, before the Lord your God year by year at the place that the Lord will choose. 21 (X)But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. 22 You shall eat it within your towns. (Y)The unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as though it were a gazelle or a deer. 23 (Z)Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
