AT the term of seven years thou shalt make a year of Freedom. 2 And the manner of the freedom shall be after this sort. Every creditor shall release the debt of his hand which he hath lent unto his neighbour, and he shall not constrain his neighbour nor his brother: for it is called the year of the Lords release. 3 Thou mayest compel a stranger, but as for thy brother, forgive him. 4 In any wise let there be no poor body among you: for the Lord will bless thee in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an heritage to possess, 5 Yea if thou obey the voice of the Lord thy God in keeping and performing all his commandments which I command thee this day. 6 For the Lord thy God will bless thee, as he hath promised, so as thou shalt lend unto many folk, and not borrow of any. Thou shalt reign over many Nations, and they shall not reign over thee.

Thou shalt reigne ouer many Nations, and they shall not reigne ouer thee.
