Jeremiah 34:9-14

9that everyH376 manH376 should letH7971 his manservant, and everyH376 manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an Hebrewess, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himselfH376 of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251:

10And allH3605 the princesH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 obeyedH8085, whichH834 had enteredH935 intoH935 the covenantH1285, that everyH3605 one should letH7971 his manservant, and everyH3605 one his maidservantH8198, goH935 freeH2670, that noneH3605 should serveH5647 themselvesH8085 of them anyH3605 moreH5750; they obeyedH8085, and letH7971 them goH935:

11but afterwardsH310 they turnedH7725, and causedH834 the servantsH5650 and the handmaids, whomH834 they had letH7971 goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and broughtH7725 them intoH3533 subjectionH3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaids:

12Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,

13ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, outH3318 of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, sayingH559,

14At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 ye shall letH7971 goH7971 everyH376 manH376 his brotherH251 that is an HebrewH5680, whichH834 hath been soldH4376 unto thee, and hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt letH7971 him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkened notH3808 unto meH413, neitherH3808 inclinedH5186 their earH241.
