Leviticus 25:51-55 English Standard Version (ESV)

51. If there are still many years left, he shall pay proportionately for his redemption some of his sale price.

52. If there remain but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall calculate and pay for his redemption in proportion to his years of service.

53. He shall treat him as a worker hired year by year. He shall not rule ruthlessly over him in your sight.

54. And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he and his children with him shall be released in the year of jubilee.

55. For it is to me that the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
