1 Εν τω τελει του εβδομου ετους θελεις καμνει αφεσιν.

2 Και ουτος ειναι ο νομος της αφεσεως· πας δανειστης, οστις εδανεισε τι εις τον πλησιον αυτου, θελει αφησει αυτο· δεν θελει απαιτει αυτο απο τον πλησιον αυτου η απο τον αδελφον αυτου· διοτι τουτο ονομαζεται αφεσις του Κυριου.

3 Απο του ξενου δυνασαι να απαιτησης αυτο· ο, τι ομως ο αδελφος σου εχει εκ των ιδικων σου, η χειρ σου θελει αφινει αυτο·

4 δια να μη υπαρχη πτωχος μεταξυ σας· διοτι ο Κυριος θελει σε ευλογησει μεγαλως εν τη γη, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν, δια να εξουσιασης αυτην·

5 αν μονον επιμελως ακουης την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου σου, δια να προσεχης να καμνης πασας τας εντολας ταυτας, τας οποιας εγω σε προσταζω σημερον.

6 διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει σε ευλογησει, καθως υπεσχεθη εις σε· και θελεις δανειζει εις πολλα εθνη, συ ομως δεν θελεις δανειζεσθαι και θελεις βασιλευει επι πολλα εθνη, επι σε ομως δεν θελουσι βασιλευσει.

7 Εαν ηναι εν μεσω σου πτωχος εκ των αδελφων σου εντος τινος των πυλων σου, εν τη γη σου την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε, δεν θελεις σκληρυνει την καρδιαν σου ουδε θελεις κλεισει την χειρα σου απο του πτωχου αδελφου σου·

8 αλλ' εξαπαντος θελεις ανοιξει την χειρα σου προς αυτον, και εξαπαντος θελεις δανεισει εις αυτον ικανα δια την χρειαν αυτου, εις ο, τι χρειαζεται.

9 προσεχε εις σεαυτον, μηποτε επελθη κακος στοχασμος επι την καρδιαν σου και ειπης, Πλησιαζει το εβδομον ετος, το ετος της αφεσεως· και πονηρευθη ο οφθαλμος σου κατα του πτωχου αδελφου σου και δεν δωσης εις αυτον, και βοηση προς τον Κυριον κατα σου, και γεινη εις σε αμαρτια.

10 Θελεις δωσει εξαπαντος εις αυτον, και η καρδια σου δεν θελει πονηρευθη οταν διδης εις αυτον· επειδη δια τουτο θελει σε ευλογει Κυριος ο Θεος σου εις παντα τα εργα σου και εις πασας τας επιχειρησεις σου.

11 Διοτι δεν θελει λειψει πτωχος εκ μεσου της γης σου· δια τουτο εγω προσταζω εις σε, λεγων, Θελεις εξαπαντος ανοιγει την χειρα σου προς τον αδελφον σου, προς τον πτωχον σου και προς τον ενδεη σου επι της γης σου.

12 Εαν ο αδελφος σου, Εβραιος η Εβραια, πωληθη εις σε, θελει σε δουλευσει εξ ετη, και εις το εβδομον ετος θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτον ελευθερον απο σου.

13 Και οταν εξαποστειλης αυτον ελευθερον απο σου, δεν θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτον κενον·

14 θελεις εξαπαντος εφοδιασει αυτον απο των προβατων σου και απο του αλωνιου σου και απο του ληνου σου· απο ο, τι Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε ηυλογησε, θελεις δωσει εις αυτον.

15 Και θελεις ενθυμηθη οτι δουλος εσταθης εν γη Αιγυπτου, και Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε ελυτρωσεν· οθεν εγω προσταζω εις σε το πραγμα τουτο σημερον.

16 Αλλ' εαν σοι ειπη, Δεν εξερχομαι απο σου· επειδη ηγαπησε σε και τον οικον σου, διοτι ευτυχει μετα σου·

17 τοτε θελεις λαβει τρυπητηριον και θελεις τρυπησει το ωτιον αυτου προς την θυραν, και θελει εισθαι δουλος σου παντοτεινος· και εις την δουλην σου θελεις καμει ομοιως.

18 Δεν θελει φανη εις σε σκληρον οταν εξαποστειλης αυτον ελευθερον απο σου· διοτι σε εδουλευσε το διπλουν μισθωτου δουλου, εξ ετη· και Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει σε ευλογει εις παν ο, τι καμνεις.

19 Παντα τα πρωτοτοκα, οσα γεννωνται μεταξυ των βοων σου και των προβατων σου τα αρσενικα, θελεις αφιερονει εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου· δεν θελεις μεταχειρισθη εις εργασιαν τον πρωτοτοκον μοσχον σου, ουδε κουρευσει το πρωτοτοκον των προβατων σου.

20 Ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου σου θελεις τρωγει αυτο κατ' ετος, εν τω τοπω οντινα εκλεξη ο Κυριος, συ και ο οικος σου.

21 Και εαν εχη τινα μωμον, εαν ηναι χωλον η τυφλον η εχη τινα μωμον κακον, δεν θελεις θυσιασει αυτο εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου.

22 Εντος των πυλων σου θελεις τρωγει αυτο· ο ακαθαρτος και ο καθαρος εξισου, ως την δορκαδα και ως την ελαφον.

23 Πλην το αιμα αυτου δεν θελεις φαγει επι την γην θελεις χυσει αυτο ως υδωρ.

737. 'Noah was a son of six hundred years' means his initial state of temptation. This is clear from the fact from here down to Eber in Chapter 11 nothing else is meant by numbers, years of age, or names than real things, as was the case also with the ages and names of all those mentioned in Chapter 5. Here 'six hundred years' means the initial state of temptation. This becomes clear from its prime factors which are ten and six multiplied again by ten. When the same factors are involved it makes no difference whether the number arrived at is large or small. As for ten, this has been shown already at 6:3 to mean remnants, while the meaning of six here as labour and conflict is clear from places throughout the Word. For the situation is this: What has gone before dealt with man's preparation for temptation, that is to say, he was supplied by the Lord with truths of the understanding and with goods of the will. These truths and goods are remnants, but they are not brought forth so as to be acknowledged until man is being regenerated. In the case of those who are being regenerated by means of temptations the remnants existing with any man are for the angels present with him. From these remnants they draw out those things with which they protect him against the evil spirits who activate falsities with him and in this way attack him. It is because remnants are meant by 'ten' and conflict by 'six' that six hundred years are spoken of, a number in which ten and six are the prime factors and which means a state of temptation.

[2] As regards conflict being the particular meaning of 'six', this is clear from Genesis 1, which describes the six days of man's regeneration prior to his becoming celestial. During those six days there was constant conflict, but on the seventh day came rest. Consequently there are six days of labour, and the seventh is the sabbath, a word which means rest. This also is why a Hebrew slave was to serve for six years and in the seventh was to go free, Exodus 21:2; Deuteronomy 15:12; Jeremiah 34:14, and why for six years they were to sow the land and gather in the produce, but in the seventh they were to leave it alone, Exodus 23:10-12. The same applied to a vineyard. It is also the reason why in the seventh year the land was to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to Jehovah, Leviticus 25:3-4. Because 'six' means labour and conflict it also means the dispersion of falsity, as in Ezekiel,

Behold, six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which looks towards the north, every man with a weapon of dispersion in his hand. Ezekiel 9:2.

And in the same prophet, against Gog,

I will cause you to turn about, and I will split you into six, and cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north. Ezekiel 39:2.

Here 'six' and 'splitting into six' stand for dispersion, 'the north' for falsities, and 'Gog' for people who seize on doctrinal matters based on things of an external nature with which they destroy internal worship. From Job,

He will deliver you in six troubles, and in a seventh no evil will touch you. Job 5:19.

This stands for the conflict that constitutes temptations.

[3] 'Six' occurs in other parts of the Word where it does not mean labour, conflict, or the dispersion of falsity, but the holiness of faith. In these instances it is related to twelve, which means faith and all things of faith in their entirety, and to three which means that which is holy. Consequently there is also a genuine derivative meaning to the number six, as in Ezekiel 40:5, where the man's measuring rod with which he measured the holy city of Israel was six cubits long; and in other places. The reason for this derivative is that in the conflict of temptation the holiness of faith is present, and also that six days of labour and conflict look forward to the holy seventh day.
