* "
And if your brother becomes poor ,
and cannot maintain himself with you ,
you shall maintain him ;
as a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you .
*
Take no interest from him or increase ,
but fear your God ;
that your brother may live beside you .
*
You shall not lend him your money at interest ,
nor give him your food for profit .
*
I am the LORD your God ,
who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan ,
and to be your God .
* "
And if your brother becomes poor beside you ,
and sells himself to you ,
you shall not make him serve as a slave :
*
he shall be with you as a hired servant and as a sojourner .
He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee ;
*
then he shall go out from you ,
he and his children with him ,
and go back to his own family ,
and return to the possession of his fathers .
*
For they are my servants ,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt ;
they shall not be sold as slaves .
*
You shall not rule over him with harshness ,
but shall fear your God .
