Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).
- 1At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
- 2This is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Yahweh's release has been proclaimed.
