Leviticus, Chapter 25, verses 35-43
35 ‘Now in case avcountryman of yours becomes poor and hiswmeans with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 Do not takexusurious interest from him, but revere your God, that yourycountryman may live with you. 37 You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain. 38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God. | |
39 ‘If azcountryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave’s service. 40 He shall be with you as a hired man, as if he were a sojourner; he shall serve with you until the year of jubilee. 41 He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers. 42 For they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they are not to be sold in a slave sale. 43 You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God. |
