36. Do not charge them any interest, but obey God and let your fellow-Israelites live near you.
37. Do not make them pay interest on the money you lend them, and do not make a profit on the food you sell them.
38. This is the command of the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt in order to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39. If a fellow-Israelite living near you becomes so poor that he sells himself to you as a slave, you shall not make him do the work of a slave.
40. He shall stay with you as a hired servant and serve you until the next Year of Restoration.
41. At that time he and his children shall leave you and return to his family and to the property of his ancestors.
42. The people of Israel are the Lord's slaves, and he brought them out of Egypt; they must not be sold into slavery.
43. Do not treat them harshly, but obey your God.
