Context — Hebrew Servants
12If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.
13And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed.
14You are to furnish him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor, and your winepress. You shall give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.
15Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; that is why I am giving you this command today. 16But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,Cross References

Deuteronomy 15:14 Summary
This verse, Deuteronomy 15:14, is saying that when we release someone from service, we should give them generous provisions, just as God has blessed us, as a way of showing our gratitude to God and our care for the person. This is similar to what is written in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, where it says that God loves a cheerful giver. It's like when someone gives us a gift, and we want to say thank you by giving them something in return. We can apply this principle to our lives today by being generous with what God has given us, whether it's our time, money, or talents, and trusting that God will provide for us, just as He provided for the Israelites, as seen in Exodus 16:12-15, where God provided manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to furnish someone liberally in Deuteronomy 15:14?
To furnish someone liberally means to provide for them generously, as seen in Deuteronomy 15:14, where God commands the Israelites to give to their servants from their flock, threshing floor, and winepress, just as the Lord has blessed them, as stated in Deuteronomy 15:14 and similar to the generosity shown in Proverbs 19:17.
Why are the Israelites commanded to give to their servants in this way?
The Israelites are commanded to give to their servants in this way because God had blessed them, and they are to show their gratitude by blessing others, as seen in Deuteronomy 15:14 and also in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, where it is written that God loves a cheerful giver.
How does this verse relate to the concept of slavery in the Bible?
This verse is part of a larger passage that deals with the release of slaves in Israel, as seen in Deuteronomy 15:12-18, where it is commanded that slaves be released after six years of service, and when they are released, they are to be given generous provisions, as stated in Deuteronomy 15:14, highlighting God's concern for the well-being of all people, regardless of their social status, as also seen in Galatians 3:28.
What is the spiritual significance of giving to others as God has blessed us?
Giving to others as God has blessed us is a way of acknowledging God's provision in our lives and showing our gratitude by blessing others, as seen in Deuteronomy 15:14, and also in Matthew 10:8, where it is written that we are to freely give because we have freely received.

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 15:14
Thou shalt furnish him liberally,.... Not only to supply his present wants, but for his future use, and to set him up in the world: "loading thou shall load him" (h), so some render the words; give
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 15:14
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:14
(14) Thou shalt furnish him liberally.—The beneficence of this provision is noticeable. Those who had fallen into poverty, when they had served their time, must be provided with means for a fresh start in life. And since the Jewish commentator regards the slavery of Hebrew men as chiefly a consequence of theft (If he be sold unto thee, “when the supreme court has sold him for his theft “), it would seem that, under Jewish law, even convicted thieves, when the term of their servitude was over, were to be provided with the means of obtaining an honest livelihood. This state of things is above the attainments of Christian England at the present date.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:14
Verse 14. Thou shalt furnish him - out of thy flock] Thou shalt give him some cattle to breed with; out of thy floor - some corn for seed and for bread; and out of thy wine press - an adequate provision of wine for present necessity.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 15:14
14. thou shalt furnish him liberally] Lit. make-him-a-necklace (with emphatic repetition of the vb.). In this metaphor is the idea of loading or that of ornamenting (embellishing, equipping) the governing one? Probably both are combined; the metaphor rising from the primitive custom of hoarding the family wealth in heavy necklaces or headdresses. Less likely is the derivation from the use of the collar or necklace as a badge of rank or office (as it was in Egypt, Genesis 41:42, and Persia, 1Es 3:6). A similar liberality is exercised in Arabia (Doughty, Ar. Des. i. 554). ‘It is not many years, “if their house-lord fears Ullah,” before he will give them their liberty; and then he sends them not away empty; but in Upland Arabia (where only substantial persons are slave-holders) the good man will marry out his freed servants, male and female, endowing them with somewhat of his own substance, whether camels or palm-stems.’ Cp. Snouck-Hurgronje, Mekka, ii. 14: ‘the well-to-do owner feels himself bound where possible to provide for his loyal servant an establishment, and emancipation ranks in itself as a meritorious act: the family bond remains after as before it unbroken.’ Musil (Ethn. Ber. 225) quotes as part of the emancipation formula: ‘I dismiss my slave and endow him.’ flock, threshing-floor and wine-press] Cp. Deuteronomy 14:23, Deuteronomy 16:13. as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee] Deuteronomy 7:13, Deuteronomy 12:15, Deuteronomy 16:17.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 15:14
Thou shalt furnish him liberally - The verb in the Hebrew is remarkable. It means “thou shalt lay on his neck,” “adorn his neck with thy gifts.”
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:14
14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally — The Hebrew verb that is used makes the expression very emphatic, Thou shalt load him bountifully.
