Deuteronomy 15:7-14

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, ^hyou shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, 8 but ⁱyou 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 ^jeye look grudgingly ^{▼▼Or be evil; also verse 10} on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he ^lcry to the Lord against you, and ^myou be guilty of sin. 10 You shall give to him freely, and ⁿyour heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because ^ofor this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 11 For ^pthere 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 ^{▼▼Or sells himself} 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. ^tAs the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
