7If there is among you a poor man of one of your brethren 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: 8But you shall open your hand wide to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he lacks. 9Beware that there is not a thought in your wicked heart, that whispers, “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 cries to the LORD against you, and it is sin to you. 10You shall surely give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand unto. 11For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore, I command you, saying, “You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land”.

12And if your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty: 14You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your floor, and out of your winepress; of that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. 15And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore, I give you this command today. 16And it shall be, if he says to you, “I will not go away from you”; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you; 17Then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. And to your maidservant you shall also do likewise. 18It shall not seem hard to you, when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant to you, in serving you six years; and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do.

19All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify unto the LORD your God; you shall do no work with the firstling of your bullock, nor shear the firstling of your sheep. 20You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household. 21And if there is any blemish in it, as if it is lame, blind, or have any ill blemish, you shall not sacrifice it unto the LORD your God. 22You shall eat it within your gates; the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart (deer). 23Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it upon the ground as water.
