See therefore that
thou reign not over him cruelly, but fear thy God. If thou wilt
have bondservants and maidens, thou shalt buy them of the heathen
that are round about you, and of the children of the strangers
that are sojourners among you, and of their generations that are
with you, which they begat in your land. And ye shall possess them
and give them unto your children after you, to possess them for
ever: and they shall be your bond men. But over your brethren the
children of Israel, ye shall not reign one over another cruelly.
When a stranger and a sojourner waxeth rich by thee, and thy
brother that dwelleth by him waxeth poor and sell himself unto the
stranger that dwelleth by thee or to any of the stranger's kin:
after that he is sold he may be redeemed again: one of his
brethren may buy him out: whether it be his uncle or his uncle's
son, or any that is nye of kin unto him of his kindred: either if
his hand can get so much he may be loosed. And he shall reckon
with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold in unto
the trompet year, and the price of his buying shall be according
unto the number of years, and he shall be with him as a hired
servant. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he
shall give again for his deliverance, of the money that he was
sold for.
