25:42. For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen.
25:43. Afflict him not by might: but fear thy God.
25:44. Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you:
25:45. And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land. These you shall have for servants:
25:46. And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
25:47. If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
25:48. After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
25:49. Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself:
25:50. Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant.
25:51. If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
