The Law Concerning Slavery

39 ‘And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave.
40 As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 And then he shall depart from you—he and his children awith him—and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers.  
42 For they are aMy servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.  
43 aYou shall not rule over him bwith rigor, but you cshall fear your God.  
44 And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have—from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
45 Moreover you may buy athe children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property.  
46 And ayou may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor.  
47 ‘Now if a sojourner or stranger close to you becomes rich, and one of your brethren who dwells by him becomes poor, and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner close to you, or to a member of the stranger’s family,
48 after he is sold he may be redeemed again. One of his brothers may redeem him;
49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him; or anyone who is near of kin to him in his family may redeem him; or if he is able he may redeem himself.
50 Thus he shall reckon with him who bought him: The price of his release shall be according to the number of years, from the year that he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; it shall be aaccording to the time of a hired servant for him.  
51 If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall repay the price of his redemption from the money with which he was bought.
