Deuteronomy 15
Deuteronomy 15:1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto
his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of
his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.
3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy
brother thine hand shall release;
4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the Lord shall greatly bless
thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to
possess it:
-
The Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance to possess it.
5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe
to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
-
If thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the
Lord thy God
6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend
unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many
nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
-
God blesseth thee, as he promised thee
-
Thou shalt lend unto many nations
-
But thou shalt not borrow; and Thou shalt reign
over many nations
They shall not reign over thee
-
But they shall not reign over thee.
7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy
gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden
thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him
sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh
year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor
brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and
it be sin unto thee.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou
givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee
in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee,
saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to
thy needy, in thy land.
12 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and
serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from
thee.
13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away
empty:
14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and
out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou
shalt give unto him.
15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and
the Lord thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because
he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and
he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do
likewise.
18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee;
for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six
years: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt
sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy
bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20 Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God year by year in the place which the
Lord shall choose, thou and thy household.
21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any
ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.
22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall
eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground
as water.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
