ukjv@Leviticus:25:39 @ And if your brother that dwells by you be becoming poor, and be sold unto you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

ukjv@Leviticus:25:40 @ But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you unto the year of jubile.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:41 @ And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:42 @ For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:43 @ You shall not rule over him with rigour; but shall fear your God.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:44 @ Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall all of you buy bondmen and bondmaids.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:45 @ Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall all of you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they brings forth in your land: and they shall be your possession.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:46 @ And all of you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, all of you shall not rule one over another with rigour.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:47 @ And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

ukjv@Leviticus:25:48 @ After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

ukjv@Leviticus:25:49 @ Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:50 @ And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:51 @ If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:52 @ And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:53 @ And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in your sight.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:54 @ And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

ukjv@Leviticus:25:55 @ For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
