Leviticus 25:35-43

35And if thy brother shall have become poor, and falleth into poverty among you; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he may be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.12 36Take thou no interest of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy food for increase. 38I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39And if thy brotherthat dwelleth by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave:3 40But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee to the year of jubilee: 41And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42For they are my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.4 43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
