    Bankruptcy is a form of discharge.

    I like to think of it as mimicry of the "Year of Release" or the Jubilee Year.

      The year of release.

      This year of release typified the grace of the gospel, in which is proclaimed the acceptable year of the Lord; and by which we obtain the release of our debts, that is, the pardon of our sins.

      The law is spiritual, and lays restraints upon the thoughts of the heart. We mistake, if we think thoughts are free from God's knowledge and check.

      That is a wicked heart indeed, which raises evil thoughts from the good law of God, as theirs did, who, because God had obliged them to the charity of forgiving, denied the charity of giving.

      Those who would keep from the act of sin, must keep out of their minds the very thought of sin. It is a dreadful thing to have the cry of the poor justly against us.

      Grudge not a kindness to thy brother; distrust not the providence of God. What thou doest, do freely, for God loves a cheerful giver, 2Co 9:7. (De 15:12-18)

      At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. Deuteronomy 15:1

      Maybe I should rephrase the question: The United States (the resemblance of one organism to another or to an object in its surroundings) filed bankruptcy (for concealment or protection from predators) under what chapter?
