Jeremiah 34:8-10

8The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had 1made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to 2proclaim 3release to them:

9that each man should set free his male servant and each man his female servant, a 4Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman; so that 5no one should keep them, a Jew his brother, in bondage.

10And all the 6officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each man should set free his male servant and each man his female servant, so that no one should keep them any longer in bondage; they obeyed, and set them free.
