1 “At the end of every seven years, you must cancel debts.
2 This is the way you must do this: Everyone who has lent money to another Israelite must cancel the debt. He should not ask a fellow Israelite to repay the debt, because the Lord said to cancel debts during that year.
3 You may require a foreigner to repay you, but you must cancel any debt another Israelite owes you.
4 There should not be any poor people in your country, because the Lord your God is giving you this land. And the Lord will greatly bless you.
