New Testament

Leviticus 25:34-42 Modern English Version (MEV)

34. But the fields of the land of their cities may not be sold, for they are their perpetual possession.

35. If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, then you shall support him as if he were a foreigner or a sojourner, so that he may live with you.

36. Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, so 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 out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39. If your brother who dwells near you becomes poor and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant.

40. But as a hired servant and as a sojourner he shall be with you. He shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee.

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

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