The heart of God under the Law is way more simple than I ever realised, it's all about LOVE.
Extract from my charts:
Law #1 Interpretation: Every seventh year
you shall grant a release. The Lord
commands Israel
to release any of their fellow brothers, who they have lent money to, in the
seventh year. He tells them there shall be no poor among them. The Lord is
setting up a nation with a good economy and good structure. He doesn’t want
there to be those who are bound by debt and enslaved that way to one another
forever. I think God’s heart behind this is that those who cannot earn enough
to pay it back, through no fault of their own, should be released and set free.
He’s giving the opportunity to the rich brother to grant their poor brother
freedom.
I've learnt a lot about tithing and giving this week!
