39And if thy brotherH251that dwelleth by thee shall have become poorH4134, and be soldH4376 to thee; thou shalt not compelH5647 him to serveH5656 as a slaveH5650:1 40But as an hired servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee, and shall serveH5647 thee to the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104: 41And then shall he departH3318 from thee, both he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 to his own familyH4940, and to the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725. 42For they are my servantsH5650, which I broughtH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 asH4466 slavesH5650.2 43Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigourH6531; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430. 44Both thy maleH5650 and female slavesH519, which thou shalt have, shall be from the heathenH1471 that are aroundH5439 you; from them shall ye buyH7069 maleH5650 and female slavesH519. 45Moreover of the childrenH1121 of the strangersH8453 that sojournH1481 among you, of them shall ye buyH7069, and of their familiesH4940 that are with you, whom they begatH3205 in your landH776: and they shall be your possessionH272. 46And ye shall take them as an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you, to inheritH3423 them for a possessionH272; they shall be your slavesH5647 for everH5769: but over your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, ye shall not ruleH7287 oneH376 over anotherH251 with rigourH6531.3
