Deuteronomy 15:1-2

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Laws concerning the Sabbatical Year

15 Every seventh year you shall grant a remission of debts. ² And this is the manner of the remission: every creditor shall remit the claim that is held against a neighbour, not exacting it from a neighbour who is a member of the community, because the Lord’s remission has been proclaimed.
