Leviticus 25:35-43

35“If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and cannot support himself, support him as you would a foreigner or a temporary resident and allow him to live with you.

36Do not charge interest or make a profit at his expense. Instead, show your fear of God by letting him live with you as your relative.

37Remember, do not charge interest on money you lend him or make a profit on food you sell him.

38I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39“If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and is forced to sell himself to you, do not treat him as a slave.

40Treat him instead as a hired worker or as a temporary resident who lives with you, and he will serve you only until the Year of Jubilee.

41At that time he and his children will no longer be obligated to you, and they will return to their clans and go back to the land originally allotted to their ancestors.

42The people of Israel are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, so they must never be sold as slaves.

43Show your fear of God by not treating them harshly.
