DEUTERONOMY 14:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.”
This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan they made to their fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed — the loan forgiveness is presented as divine decree (the LORD's time), not optional charity. The community recognizes the LORD's ownership of all economic relationships.
