41 And he shall depart from you, and his children with him, and he shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers he shall return. 42 For they are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 You shall not rule over him with rigor, and you shall fear your God. 44 And your manservant and your maidservant whom you may have are from the nations that are around you?; from them you? may buy a manservant and maidservant. 45 Moreover, the sons of the sojourners who dwell among you?, these you? may buy, and their clans who are with you? that they beget in your? land; and they shall be unto you? for a possession. 46 And you? may take them as an inheritance for your? children after you? to inherit them as a possession forever; in them shall be your? slaves, and regarding your? brothers, the sons of Israel, you shall not rule with rigor one over another. 47 And if a sojourner or stranger among you becomes rich, and one of your brothers by him becomes poor and sells himself to the sojourner or stranger among you, or to a member of the family of a sojourner, 48 after he is sold, there is unto him the right of redemption. One of his brothers may redeem him, 49 or his uncle or a son of his uncle may redeem him, or someone from a close relative of his flesh from his family may redeem him, or if his own hand has attained, then he may redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold to him, until the Year of the Jubilee. And the price of his release shall be according to the number of years; it is according to the time of a hireling for him. 51 If yet there are many years according to them, he shall repay the price of his redemption from the silver with which he was bought. 52 And if but a few years remain until the Year of the Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him according to his years; he shall repay him the price of his redemption. 53 As a hireling year by year he shall be with him. He shall not rule over him with rigor in your eyes. 54 And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall be released in the Year of the Jubilee—he and his children with him. 55 For the sons of Israel are servants to Me. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your? God. Leviticus 25:41-55, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
