Leviticus 25:35-43
35And if thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and fallen in decayH4131 with theeH3027; then thou shalt relieveH2388 him: yea, though he be a strangerH1616, or a sojournerH8453; that he may liveH2416 with thee.12 36TakeH3947 thou no usuryH5392 of him, or increaseH8636: but fearH3372 thy GodH430; that thy brotherH251 may liveH2416 with thee. 37Thou shalt not giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon usuryH5392, nor lendH5414 him thy victualsH400 for increaseH4768. 38I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and to be your GodH430.
39And if thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by thee be waxen poorH4134, and be soldH4376 unto thee; thou shalt not compelH5647 him to serveH5656 as a bondservantH5650:3 40But as an hired servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee, and shall serveH5647 thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: 41And then shall he departH3318 from thee, both he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his own familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725. 42For they are my servantsH5650, which I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 asH4466 bondmenH5650.4 43Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigourH6531; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
