Leviticus 25:42-46

42For they are My servantsH5650 whomH834 I broughtH3318 out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714; they are not to be soldH4376 in a slaveH5650 saleH4466. 431You shall not ruleH7287 over him with severityH6531, but are to revereH3372 your GodH430. 44As for your maleH5650 and femaleH519 slavesH519H5650 whomH834 you may haveH1961--you may acquireH7069 maleH5650 and femaleH519 slavesH519H5650 from the pagan nationsH1471 that are aroundH5439 you. 45Then, tooH1571, it is out of the sonsH1121 of the sojournersH8453 who liveH1481 as aliensH1481 amongH5973 you that you may gainH7069 acquisitionH7069, and out of their familiesH4940 whoH834 are with you, whomH834 they will have 2producedH3205 in your landH776; they also may becomeH1961 your possessionH272. 46You may even bequeathH5157 them to your sonsH1121 afterH310 you, to receiveH3423 as a possessionH272; you can useH5647 them as permanentH5769 slavesH5647. 3But in respect to your 4countrymenH251, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, you shall not ruleH7287 with severityH6531 over oneH376 anotherH251.
