Leviticus 25:44-46 ▼

44 |As for your male and maid slaves who will be with you, you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations.

45 You may also buy from resident aliens who live among you and their families who are with you, whom they fathered in your land. They may become your property.

46 You may give them as inherited property to your children after you, to own as properties in perpetuity. You may make bond slaves of them, but no one is to rule over his fellow Israeli with harshness.
