Jeremiah 34:9-14

9That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251. 10Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971 freeH2670, that none should serveH5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971. 11But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.

12Therefore the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from YhwhH3068, sayingH559, 13Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, sayingH559, 14At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376 unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not unto me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241.1
