Deuteronomy 15:12

New Living Translation

“If a fellow Hebrew sells himself or herself to be your servant and serves you for six years, in the seventh year you must set that servant free.

See the chapter Copy

“These are the regulations you must present to Israel.

I told them that every Hebrew slave must be freed after serving six years. But your ancestors paid no attention to me.

“At the end of every seventh year you must cancel the debts of everyone who owes you money.

“When you release a male servant, do not send him away empty-handed.
