Leviticus 25:39-42

Christian Standard Bible

³⁹ “If your brother among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you,^(A) you must not force him to do slave labor. ⁴⁰ Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he may work for you until the Year of Jubilee. ⁴¹ Then he and his children are to be released from you, and he may return to his clan and his ancestral property.^{(B) 42} They are not to be sold as slaves,^[a] because they are my servants^[b] that I brought out of the land of Egypt.
