Deuteronomy 15:1-3
“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. Of a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release.”
This passage is from the book of Deuteronomy, presented as Moses's final instructions to the Israelites before they enter the promised land. It outlines laws and covenant expectations for how they are to live together as a community, including economic practices and social justice, to create a society distinct from surrounding nations.
What systems or structures do we maintain today that might benefit from a regular, intentional reset or release?
