וְכִֽי־תְשַׁלְּחֶ֥נּוּ חָפְשִׁ֖י מֵֽעִמָּ֑ךְ לֹ֥א תְשַׁלְּחֶ֖נּוּ רֵיקָֽם׃
At kapag pinalaya mo siya mula sa iyo, huwag mo siyang paalisin nang walang dala.

Sefer HaChinukh
To not send a Hebrew slave empty: That we not release a Hebrew slave with empty hands from our servitude when he goes out to freedom at the end of six years, but rather that we endow him from our wealth regardless. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 15:13), “When you send him free, do not send him empty.”
