Jeremiah 34:9-14

9That every manH376 should releaseH7971H2670 his male servantH5650, and every manH376 his female servantH8198, being a Hebrew manH5680 or womanH5680; that none should retainH5647 them in service, that is, a JewH3064 his brotherH251. 10Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, who had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should releaseH7971H2670 his male servantsH5650, and every oneH376 his female servantsH8198, that none should retainH5647 them in service any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971. 11But afterwardsH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the maleH5650 and female servantsH8198, whom they had releasedH7971H2670 to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533 for maleH5650 and female servantsH8198. 12Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559, 13Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, sayingH559, 14At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 release yeH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, who hath been soldH4376 to thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not to me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241.1
