In such an instance he is given the money as a loan, and [when he wishes to return it], it is ceded to him as a gift. "shall you lend"-- the Torah speaks in the language of man [i.e., No halachah Is to be derived from the redundancy] (Ketuvoth 67b)

DEUT771 From "the seventh year," do I not know that it is the year of shemitah? Why, then, need this be written? To teach that there is another "shemitah" [release] similar to this. And which is that?
