Deuteronomy 15:1-2
“At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. This 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.”
This passage is from the book of Deuteronomy, part of a set of instructions given to the people of Israel by Moses before they entered the Promised Land. It outlines laws designed to establish a just and compassionate society, including provisions for economic relief and care for the poor within their community.
How might a cycle of regular release and reset shape our sense of ownership and responsibility today?
