³⁹ “If any who are dependent on you become so impoverished that they sell themselves to you, you shall not make them serve as slaves.^(A)

⁴² For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves are sold.

⁴³ You shall not rule over them with harshness but shall fear your God.^(A)

⁴⁶ You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.^(A)
