Deuteronomy 15:13-23 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

13. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not send him away empty.

14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock and out of thy threshing floor and out of thy winepress; of that with which the Lord thy God has blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

15. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God ransomed thee; therefore, I command thee this thing to day.

16. And it shall be, if he says unto thee, I will not go away from thee because he loves thee and thy house because he is well with thee,

17. then thou shalt take an aul and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy slave for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

18. It shall not seem hard unto thee when thou sendest him away free from thee, for he has served thee for half the cost of a hired servant for six years; and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

19. All the firstborn males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God; thou shalt do no work with the firstborn of thy bullock nor shear the firstborn of thy sheep.

20. Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God each year in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy household.

21. And if there is any blemish in it, if it is lame or blind or has any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.

22. Thou shalt eat it within thy gates; the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck and as the hart.

23. Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
