Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ At the end of euery seuen yeeres thou shalt make a release.

² And this is the maner of the release: Euery creditour that lendeth ought vnto his neighbour, shall release it: hee shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother, because it is called the Lords release.

³ Of a forreiner thou mayest exact it againe: but that which is thine with thy brother, thine hand shall release.

⁴ Saue when there shall bee no poore among you: for the Lord shal greatly blesse thee in the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance to possesse it:

⁵ Onely if thou carefully hearken vnto the voice of the Lord thy God, to obserue to doe all these commandedements, which I commaund thee this day.

⁶ For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee, and thou shalt lend vnto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow, and thou shalt reigne ouer many nations, but they shall not reigne ouer thee.

⁷ ¶ If there be among you a poore man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates, in thy lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poore brother:

⁸ But thou shalt open thine hand wide vnto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his neede, in that which he wanteth.

⁹ Beware that there bee not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seuenth yeere, the yeere of release is at hand, and thine eye be euill against thy poore brother, and thou giuest him nought, and hee crie vnto the Lord against thee, and it be sinne vnto thee.

¹⁰ Thou shalt surely giue him, and thine heart shall not bee grieued when thou giuest vnto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all thy workes, and in all that thou puttest thine hand vnto.

¹¹ For the poore shall neuer cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide vnto thy brother, to thy poore, and to thy needy in the land.

¹² ¶ And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold vnto thee, and serue thee sixe yeres, then in the seuenth yeere thou shalt let him goe free from thee.

¹³ And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away emptie:

¹⁴ Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flocke, and out of thy floore, and out of thy wine presse, of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt giue vnto him.

¹⁵ And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

¹⁶ And it shall be if he say vnto thee, I will not goe away from thee, because he loueth thee, and thine house, because he is well with thee:

¹⁷ Then thou shalt take an aule, and thrust it through his eare vnto the doore, and hee shall be thy seruant for euer: and also vnto thy mayd seruant thou shalt doe likewise.

¹⁸ It shall not seeme hard vnto thee when thou sendest him away free from thee: for hee hath bene worth a double hired seruant to thee, in seruing thee sixe yeeres: and the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all that thou doest.

¹⁹ ¶ All the firstling males that come of thy heard, and of thy flock, thou shalt sanctifie vnto the Lord thy God: thou shalt doe no worke with the firstling of thy bullocke, nor sheare the firstling of thy sheepe.

²⁰ Thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God yeere by yeere, in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy houshold.

²¹ And if there be any blemish therein; as if it be lame, or blinde, or haue any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it vnto the Lord thy God.

²² Thou shalt eate it within thy gates: the vncleane and the cleane person shall eat it alike, as the Roe bucke, and as the Hart.

²³ Onely thou shalt not eate the blood thereof: thou shalt powre it vpon the ground as water.

Christian's Deuteronomy Chapter 15 comment on 1/23/2013, 9:56am...

I see the question being asked if this passage of Scripture applies to us in our time. The answer is yes and no. Jesus came to fulfil the law. We must now look at the Old Testament in Spiritual eyes. Yes I eat bacon, BUT I must separate myself from spiritual swine and unclean things. It’s no longer a physical issue it’s a heart thing.

@Stephenderaphael,
God has no respect for man’s goodness or man’s works. That man has to be a born again Christian or he will end up in hell for eternity!

@Rachel,
Deuteronomy 15 is not for us to apply, it was meant for the Israelites, Romans 15:4. However aspects stressed in that chapter can benefit us and give us light in such issues. God bless you.

Rachael Tanyasis's Deuteronomy Chapter 15 comment on 10/01/2012, 7:11am...

Is Deutronomy 15 still applicable in our time? Or is it among the Mosaic Laws that were only meant for the Israelites? Someone help me please.

Culven Chipfumbu's Deuteronomy Chapter 15 comment about verse 6 on 8/29/2012, 1:14pm...

It's the ultimate promise from our God to those who believe in Him and He is not a man that He should lie.

StephendeRafael's Deuteronomy Chapter 15 comment on 9/22/2011, 1:01am...

The idea here is not designed specifically for todays society where laws based on morality exist based on the Bible originally but no longer literally. For instance adultery is not punishable by stoning. But it is punishable nevertheless by God who knows how to requite iniquity. If one were to lead an all together moral life based on the principles of God as given ti his intercessor, Moses, would not God be pleased with this person and does not God reward rightiousness without fail?

@ James

I do not agree. There are some parts of the Bible Christians follow, and some parts we don't. This area specifically says Hebrew men and women.

@ Joe

I agree, no one would need the governments help if people would only help each other. It would be better for the government, they have enough to deal with. It would be better for people as well, both for their over all health and their pride.

James's Deuteronomy Chapter 15 comment on 8/10/2010, 3:52pm...

If America would have done the right thing with the freedom of slaves who knows what would have changed in History...From what I gather, this principle is similar to the 40 acres and a mule concept...
