*
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee ,
and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor ,
and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee ,
or to the stock of the stranger '
s family :
*
After that he is sold he may be redeemed again ;
one of his brethren may redeem him :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him :
and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight .
*
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 .
*
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 .
