'Debts' in the Bible
At the end of every seven years you must declare a cancellation of debts.
This is the nature of the cancellation: Every creditor must remit what he has loaned to another person; he must not force payment from his fellow Israelite, for it is to be recognized as "the Lord's cancellation of debts."
Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite and you do not lend him anything; he will cry out to the Lord against you and you will be regarded as having sinned.
He commanded them: "At the end of seven years, at the appointed time of the cancellation of debts, at the Feast of Temporary Shelters,
Do not be one who strikes hands in pledge or who puts up security for debts.
and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors.
When they could not pay, he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"
