The Special Seventh Year

15 At the end of every seven years, you must ·tell those who owe you anything that they do not have to pay you back [grant remission of debts; Ex. 23:10–11]. ² This is ·how you must do it [the manner of remission]: Everyone who has ·loaned money [a claim] must ·cancel [remit] the loan and not make a neighbor or ·relative [or countryman; ^Lbrother] pay it back. This is the Lord’s time for ·canceling what people owe [remitting debts].
