Leviticus 25:35-43

35And ifH3588 thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and his handH3027 fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a strangerH1616 and a sojournerH8453 shall he liveH2421 with thee.

36TakeH3947 thou noH408 usuryH8636 of him or increaseH8636; but fearH3372 thy GodH430: that thy brotherH251 may liveH2421 with thee.

37Thou shalt notH3808 giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon usury, norH3808 giveH5414 him thy victuals for increaseH4768.

38I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, whichH834 broughtH3318 youH834 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 youH834 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to be your GodH430.

39And ifH3588 thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134 with thee, and sellH4376 himselfH3808 unto thee; thou shalt notH3808 makeH5647 him to serveH5647 as a bondservant:

40as an hiredH7916 servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee; he shall serveH5647 with thee unto the yearH8141 of jubile:

41then shall he goH3318 outH3318 from thee, he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his ownH272 familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725.

42For they are my servantsH5650, whichH834 I broughtH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall notH3808 be soldH4376 as bondmen.

43Thou shalt notH3808 ruleH7287 over him with rigour; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
