Leviticus 25:39-47

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.

44And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whichH834 thou shalt have; of the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 aboutH1961 youH834, of them shall ye buyH7069 bondmen and bondmaids.

45MoreoverH1571 of the childrenH1121 of the strangers that do sojourn among youH834, of them shall ye buyH7069, and of their familiesH4940 that are with youH834, whichH834 they have begottenH3205 in your landH776: and they shall be your possessionH272.

46And ye shall makeH5647 them an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 youH3808, to hold for a possessionH272; of them shall ye takeH3423 your bondmen for everH5769: but over your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 ye shall notH3808 ruleH7287, one over anotherH251, with rigour.

47And ifH3588 a strangerH1616 or sojournerH8453 with thee be waxen rich, and thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134 besideH3027 him, and sellH4376 himselfH3027 unto the strangerH1616 or sojournerH8453 with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’sH1616 familyH4940:
