37 (A)You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 38 (B)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39 (C)“If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave: 40 he shall be with you as a hired worker and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. 41 (D)Then he shall go out from you, (E)he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return (F)to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are (G)my servants,[a] whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 (H)You shall not rule over him (I)ruthlessly but (J)shall fear your God.
