Every seven years, creditors release debts and Hebrew servants who have served six years go free.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
At the end of every seven years you shall cancel debts This is the way it shall be done
Every creditor shall release that which he has lent To his neighbour he shall not require payment From his neighbour and his brother Because the LORD’s release has been proclaimed
Of a foreigner you may require it But whatever of yours is with your brother Your hand shall release However there will be no poor with you
For the LORD will surely bless you in the land Which the LORD your God gives you For an inheritance to possess If only you diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice
To observe to do all this commandment which I command you today For the LORD your God will bless you As he promised you You will lend to many nations But you will not borrow
You will rule over many nations But they will not rule over you If a poor man one of your brothers is with you Within any of your gates in your land
Which the LORD your God gives you You shall not harden your heart Nor shut your hand from your poor brother But you shall surely open your hand to him
And shall surely lend him sufficient for his need Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart Saying the seventh year the year of release is at hand And your eye be evil against your poor brother
You shall surely give and your heart shall not be grieved When you give to him because it is for this thing The LORD your God will bless you In all your work and in all that you put your hand to
