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.
43. You shall not rule over him with harshness; but shall fear your God.
44. Both your male and female slaves, whom you shall have, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them shall you buy male and female slaves.
