Leviticus 25:41-53

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.

⁵⁰And he shall reckon with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself, unto the year of Jubilee, and the money of his payment shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of an hireling shall it be with him.

⁵¹If the years be yet many, according to them shall he give the price of his redemption;

⁵²Or if but few years remain unto the year of Jubilee, he shall compute with him, and according to the years shall give for his redemption.

⁵³As a hireling year by year shall he be with him; he shall not work him with rigour before thine eyes.
