Deuteronomy 15: Debt Forgiveness and New Beginnings

Moses introduces the revolutionary concept of the Sabbath year, a time of debt forgiveness and liberation, underscoring God's deep concern and compassion within the Israelite community. He instructs the people to cancel debts every seven years, urging them to lend generously and without hesitation, knowing that God's blessing would compensate their generosity. Moses also commands the humane treatment of Hebrew slaves, who are to be freed in the seventh year with sufficient resources to start anew.
