Leviticus 25:39-47
39And if thy brotherH251 be waxed poor with thee, and sellH4376 himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serveH5647 as a bondservant. 40As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall beH1961 with thee; he shall serveH5647 with thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104: 41then shall he goH3318 out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his ownH272 familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725. 42For they are my servantsH5650, whom I broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 as bondmen. 43Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigor, but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430. 44And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have; of the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 about you, of them shall ye buyH7069 bondmen and bondmaids. 45Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buyH7069, and of their familiesH4940 that are with you, which they have begotten in your landH776: and they shall beH1961 your possessionH272. 46And ye shall make them an inheritanceH5157 for your children after you, to hold for a possessionH272; of them shall ye takeH3423 your bondmen for everH5769: but over your brethren the children of IsraelH3478 ye shall not ruleH7287, oneH376 over another, with rigor.
47And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxed rich, and thy brotherH251 be waxed poor beside him, and sellH4376 himself unto the stranger or sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s familyH4940;
