Jeremiah 34:8-11

8The wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from Jehovah, after that the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 that were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 unto them; 9that every manH376 should let his man-servant, and every manH376 his maid-servant, that is a HebrewH5680 or a Hebrewess, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should make bondmen of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251. 10And all the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 obeyed, that had entered into the covenantH1285, that every oneH376 should let his man-servant, and every oneH376 his maid-servant, goH935 freeH2670, that none should makeH8085 bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them goH935: 11but afterwards they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaids, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and broughtH7725 them into subjection for servantsH5650 and for handmaids.
