Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’ 12“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. 14You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
