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 comes from Deuteronomy, a book that reiterates and expands on laws given to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. It's part of a section outlining social and economic regulations intended to foster a just community under God's covenant.
What does a 'release' in your own life look like, and what challenges does it present?
