1 because the Lord’s remission has been proclaimed.
3Of a foreigner you may exact it, but you must remit your claim on whatever any member of your community owes you.
4There will, however, be no one in need among you, because the Lord is sure to bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you as a possession to occupy,
5 might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.
10 to you and works for you six years, in the seventh year you shall set that person free.
13And when you send a male slave out from you a free person, you shall not send him out empty-handed.
14Provide for him liberally out of your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress, thus giving to him some of the bounty with which the Lord your God has blessed you.
15Deut 5.15; 16.12Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; for this reason I lay this command upon you today.
16Ex 21.5, 6But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you,
17then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his earlobe into the door, and he shall be your slave forever.
“You shall do the same with regard to your female slave.
18“Do not consider it a hardship when you send them out from you free persons, because for six years they have given you services worth the wages of hired laborers, and the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
The Firstborn of Livestock19 Ex 13.2 “Every firstling male born of your herd and flock you shall consecrate to the Lord your God; you shall not do work with your firstling ox nor shear the firstling of your flock.
20Deut 12.5–7, 17You shall eat it, you together with your household, in the presence of the Lord your God year by year at the place that the Lord will choose.
21Lev 22.19–25But if it has any defect—any serious defect, such as lameness or blindness—you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God;
22Deut 12.15, 22within your towns you may eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as you would a gazelle or deer.
23Deut 12.16Its blood, however, you must not eat; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
