If any of your people—Hebrew men or women—sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free.
“These are the laws you are to set before them:
‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. After they have served you six years, you must let them go free.’ Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay attention to me.
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed.
