Leviticus 25:32-46

³²But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.

³³And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

³⁴But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.

³⁵And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

³⁶Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.

³⁷Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.

³⁸I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.

³⁹And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;

⁴⁰But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;

⁴¹Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.

⁴²For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.

⁴³Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.

⁴⁴But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

⁴⁵And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

⁴⁶And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.
