He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. 41 (B)Then he shall go out from you, (C)he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return (D)to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are (E)my servants,[a] whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 (F)You shall not rule over him (G)ruthlessly but (H)shall fear your God.
