2 | DEUT 15:1 AS THE END OF EVERY SEVEN YEAR | Deuteronomy | justme | 103357 | ||
GeorgeG: Welcome to the Bible Study Forum. This is a good question. This was for Israelites only, not required for loans made to foreigners. This was a requirement of the Lord Almight, so there would not be the destitute poor who were Israelite. AS one studies this the question of were any loans made in the 6th year comes to my mind. Perhaps a shrewed loan maker would be protective of the money he loaned out with the idea that any money left owing whould have to be lost, might have been a factor. I also noticed that our Federal laws do allow for debts to be discharged every seven years in Bankrupcy Courts. I wonder if the length of time was taken from this history. However this passage canceling of debts was not intended to protect unwise or careless use of funds, but to help those in need. This was intended for a showing of mercy and forgiveness. This is what Christ foes for our confessed sin today, but instead of every seven years we can be made clean by confession (1John 1:9). This was one of the Major Social Concerns in the Covenant of sixteen listed areas (NIV Study Bible. This practice may have overlaped into perhaps AD 70, but I know of no record beyond that time. I hope this helps, and if you need more information, let me know. Good to have you with the Forum. justme |
