*
And if thy brother be waxen poor ,
and fallen in decay with thee ;
then thou shalt relieve him :
yea ,
though he be a stranger ,
or a sojourner ;
that he may live with thee .
*
Take thou no usury of him ,
or increase :
but fear thy God ;
that thy brother may live with thee .
*
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury ,
nor lend him thy victuals for increase .
*
I am the LORD your God ,
which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt ,
to give you the land of Canaan ,
and to be your God .
*
And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor ,
and be sold unto thee ;
thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant :
*
But as an hired servant ,
and as a sojourner ,
he shall be with thee ,
and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile :
*
And then shall he depart from thee ,
both he and his children with him ,
and shall return unto his own family ,
and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return .
*
For they are my servants ,
which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt :
they shall not be sold as bondmen .
*
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour ;
but shalt fear thy God .
