Deuteronomy 15:12-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
12 If a member of your community, whether a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold[a] to you and works for you for six years, in the seventh year you shall set that person free. 13 And when you send a male slave[b] out from you a free person, you shall not send him out empty-handed. 14 Provide liberally out of your flock, your threshing-floor, and your wine press, thus giving to him some of the bounty with which the Lord your God has blessed you. 15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; for this reason I lay this command upon you today.
