Leviticus 25:35-43
35‘1Now in case a 2countryman of yours becomes poor and his 3means with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 364Do not take 5usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your 6countryman may live with you. 37You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain. 387I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and 8to be your God.
39‘9If a 10countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave’s service. 40He shall be with you as a hired man, as 11if he were a sojourner; he shall serve with you until the year of jubilee. 41He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers. 42For they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they are not to be sold in a slave sale. 4312You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God.
