Leviticus 25:39-43 ▼

39 And when your brother becomes poor with you, and he has been sold to you, you do not lay servile service on him;

40 he is as a hired worker [and] as a settler with you; he serves with you until the Year of the Jubilee—

41 then he has gone out from you, he and his sons with him, and has turned back to his family; and he turns back to the possession of his fathers.

42 For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;

43 you do not rule over him with rigor, and you have been afraid of your God.
