39. ‘And when your brother who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, do not make him serve as a slave.

40. ‘But as a hired servant, as a settler he is with you, and serves you until the Year of Jubilee.

41. ‘And then he shall leave you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own clan, even return to the possession of his fathers.

42. ‘For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim, they are not sold as slaves.

43. ‘Do not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your Elohim.

44. ‘And your male and female slaves whom you have from the nations that are around you, from them you buy male and female slaves,

45. and also from the sons of the strangers sojourning among you, from them you buy, and from their clans who are with you, which they shall bring forth in your land, and they shall be your property.
