Joe: Alright, so what do we have here? Deuteronomy 15?

Bible Expert: Yes, so Deuteronomy 15 is all about the laws of the Israelites. It's about how they should handle debts, debts that are canceled, and the concept of indentured servitude.

Joe: Ok, so what does it say about debt?

Bible Expert: Well, it says that every seven years, debts are to be forgiven. This was meant to help with poverty, so that those who had no means to repay their debts could have a fresh start.

Joe: Fascinating. Alright, what about indentured servitude?

Bible Expert: Well, the law states that if a person becomes an indentured servant, they must be set free after six years. They can also choose to stay with their master if they wish. It also states that if an indentured servant leaves, they must be given certain gifts to help them start a new life.

Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. Jamie, Google, “what is indentured servitude?” (Jamie Googles). Ok, so Deuteronomy 15 is all about debt and indentured servitude. Anything else we should know?

Bible Expert: Yes, it also mentions that Israelites should not be hard on their servants, and that the poor should not be oppressed. It also talks about the importance of giving to the poor and how it is an act of worship to God.

Joe: That's really cool. Well, thank you for your insight on Deuteronomy 15!
