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.

This site's exposition

And if thy brother, an Hebrew man

on Deuteronomy 15:12-14

Exodus 21:2-6 gave this law first and two things move here. The Hebrew woman is placed under the same six years and the same seventh-year freedom, where Exodus 21:7 said a daughter sold as a maidservant shall not go out as the menservants do, and readers have long worked at how the two passages stand together. The second change is the furnishing, out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress, which Albert Barnes reads as capital that lets a freed man begin again. Jeremiah 34:8-17 is where Judah keeps this law for a moment, takes the freed servants back, and is answered with a release of another kind.

proposed

thou shalt not let him go away empty--A seasonable and wise provision for enabling a poor unfortunate to regain his original status in society, and the motive urged for his kindness and humanity to the Hebrew slave was the remembrance that the whole nation was once a degraded and persecuted band of helots in Egypt.

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.”
