¹³ So the Egyptians brutally compelled the sons of Israel ^(A)to slave labor; ¹⁴ and they made ^(B)their lives bitter with ^[a]hard slave labor in mortar and bricks and in all kinds of slave labor in the field, all their slave labor which they brutally ^[b]compelled them to do.

⁴⁶ You may even give them as an inheritance to your sons after you, to receive as a possession; you can use them as permanent slaves. ^(A)But in respect to your brothers, the sons of Israel, you shall not have dominion over one another with brutality.

⁵³ Like a man hired year by year he shall be with him; ^(A)he shall not have dominion over him with brutality in your sight.

⁴ Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, and the ^[a]diseased you have not healed, and ^(A)the broken you have not bound up, and the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you ^(B)searched for the lost; but with strength and with severity you have dominated them.

Final Instructions and Greetings

4 Masters, show to your slaves what is right and fair, ^(A)knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.
