015:009 Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying,
The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye
be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing;
and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.
015:010 You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved
when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh
your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you
put your hand to.
015:011 For the poor will never cease out of the land:
therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open
your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor,
in your land.
015:012 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold to you,
and serve you six years; then in the seventh year you shall
let him go free from you.
015:013 When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:
015:014 you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock,
and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress;
as Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
015:015 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land
of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you: therefore I
command you this thing today.
015:016 It shall be, if he tell you, I will not go out from you;
because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
015:017 then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear
to the door, and he shall be your servant forever.
Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
015:018 It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you;
for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served
you six years: and Yahweh your God will bless you in all
that you do.
015:019 All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and
of your flock you shall sanctify to Yahweh your God:
you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd,
nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
015:020 You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place
which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household.
015:021 If it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill
blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God.
015:022 You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean
[shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
015:023 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on
the ground as water.
016:001 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God;
for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you forth
out of Egypt by night.
016:002 You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock
and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose,
to cause his name to dwell there.
