Deuteronomy 15:1–6

Deuteronomy 15:1–63 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
- B 2 And this is the manner of the release:
  - C 2b Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it;
  - C' 2c he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother;
- B' 2d because it is called the LORD'S release.
A' 3-4 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; Save when there shall be no poor among you;

A 4 for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
- B 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.
A' 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.
