Leviticus 25:34-49

³⁴But a field in the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is an everlasting possession for them.

³⁵And if thy brother hath become poor, and his band waver with thee, then thou shalt strengthen him, and he shall be a guest and a sojourner with thee.

³⁶Thou shalt not take from him any usuries, nor interest (increase), but shalt fear thy God, and let thy brother live with thee.

³⁷Thou shalt not give him thy money for usury, nor thy food for increase.

³⁸I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Mizraim, to give you the land of Kenaan, and to be your God.

³⁹And if thy brother hath become poor with thee, and hath sold himself to thee, thou shalt not make him do the works of slaves,

⁴⁰But as a hired man and an inmate shall he be with thee; until the year of Jubilee shall he serve with thee:

⁴¹Then shall he go out from being with thee, he and his children with him, and return to his family and to the inheritance of his fathers.

⁴²For they are My servants, whom I brought out from the land of Mizraim; they shall not be sold as the selling of bondmen.

⁴³Thou shalt not make him serve with rigour, but shalt fear thy God.

⁴⁴Thy bondmen and thy handmaids thou shalt have from the Gentiles who are about thee; from them thou mayest obtain bondmen and handmaids.

⁴⁵And also from the sons of the uncircumcised strangers who sojourn with you, of them and of their children who are with you which are born in the land, you may obtain a possession,

⁴⁶And may make them an inheritance for your children after you to inherit them for a possession to serve them perpetually; but among your brethren the sons of Israel no man shall make his brother labour with hardness.

⁴⁷And if the hand of an uncircumcised sojourner with thee wax strong, and thy brother with thee become poor and sell himself to the uncircumcised sojourner with thee, or to an Aramite of the race of the stranger,

⁴⁸after that he is sold he may have redemption; one of his brethren may redeem him.

⁴⁹Either his father’s brother, or the son of his father’s brother, may redeem him; or anyone of kin to the flesh of his family may redeem him; or if his hand be able, he may redeem himself.
