2 And this is the manner of the remission of debt: every creditor shall remit his claim that he holds against his neighbor, and he shall not exact payment from his brother because there a remission of debt has been proclaimed unto Yahweh.
3 With respect to the foreigner you may exact payment, but you must remit what shall be owed to you with respect to your brother.
4 Nevertheless, there shall not be among you a poor person, because Yahweh will certainly bless you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, to take possession of it.
5 If only you listen well to the voice of Yahweh your God by observing diligently all of these commandments that I am commanding you today.
6 When Yahweh your God has blessed you, just as he promised to you, then you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow from them, and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
7 If there is a poor person among you from among one of your brothers in one of your towns that Yahweh your God is giving to you, you shall not harden your heart, and you shall not shut your hand toward your brother who is poor.
8 But you shall certainly open your hand for him, and you shall willingly lend to him enough to meet his need, whatever it is.
