“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,

As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you.

And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”
