Deuteronomy Chapter 15

Deuteronomy 15:2
15:2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every {a} creditor
     that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it];
     he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his
     brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.

     (a) He shall only release his debtors, who are not able to
         pay for that year.

Deuteronomy 15:4
15:4 {b} Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the
     LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD
     thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:

     (b) For if your debtor is rich, he may be forced to pay.

Deuteronomy 15:11
15:11 {c} For the poor shall never cease out of the land:
      therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt {d} open
      thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy
      needy, in thy land.

      (c) To try your charity, Matthew 26:11.
      (d) You shall be liberal.

Deuteronomy 15:14
15:14 Thou shalt {e} furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and
      out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that]
      wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt
      give unto him.

      (e) In token that you acknowledge the benefit which God
          has given you by his labours.

Deuteronomy 15:17
15:17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust [it] through his
      ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant {f} for
      ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do
      likewise.

      (f) To the year of Jubile, Leviticus 25:40.

Deuteronomy 15:18
15:18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him
      away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double {g}
      hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and
      the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

      (g) For the hired servant served but three years, and he
          six.

Deuteronomy 15:19
15:19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy
      flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: {h} thou
      shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor
      shear the firstling of thy sheep.

      (h) For they are the Lords.

Deuteronomy 15:22
15:22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the
      clean [person shall eat it] alike, {i} as the roebuck, and
      as the hart.

      (i) You will eat them, as well as the roe buck and other
          wild beasts.
