05:015:011 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.
05:015:012 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.
05:015:013 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
05:015:014 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.
05:015:015 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.
05:015:016 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;
05:015:017 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.
05:015:018 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.
05:015:019 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.
05:015:020 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
