Leviticus 25:33-42 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

33. And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall be released in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

34. But the field of the common lands of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

35. And if your brother becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you; then you shall help him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.

36. Take you no interest from him, or profit: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.

37. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor lend him your food for profit.

38. I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39. And if your brother that dwells by you becomes poor, and is sold unto you; you shall not compel him to serve as a slave:

40. But as a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the year of jubilee:

41. And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

42. For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
