Leviticus 25:35-43

35An Israelite may become poor. He may not be able to feed his family. You must help him. You would help a visitor or a foreigner in the same way. You must help the man so that he can continue to live among you.

36The man must not pay back more than you gave to him. You must obey your God.

37The person who is feeding the man might give money or food to him. He must not ask for more back than he gave.

38I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt. I brought you into this land to be your God.

39If an Israelite becomes poor, he might sell himself to you. But he must not work for you as a slave. You must pay him to work as your servant.

40He must work for you until the next Jubilee year.

41In the Jubilee year, you will make him free. He and his children can go back to his own home and family.

42Israel's people belong to God. I took them out of Egypt. They must not be slaves.

43You must be kind to all Israelites. Remember to obey your God.
