Leviticus 25:35-55

And if thy brother
<0251>
be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,
and fallen in decay
<04131> (8804)
with thee
<03027>_;
then thou shalt relieve
<02388> (8689)
him: [yea, though he be] a stranger
<01616>_,
or a sojourner
<08453>_;
that he may live
<02416>
with thee. {fallen...: Heb. his hand faileth} {relieve: Heb. strengthen}
Take
<03947> (8799)
thou no usury
<05392>
of him, or increase
<08636>_:
but fear
<03372> (8804)
thy God
<0430>_;
that thy brother
<0251>
may live
<02416>
with thee.
Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)
him thy money
<03701>
upon usury
<05392>_,
nor lend
<05414> (8799)
him thy victuals
<0400>
for increase
<04768>_.
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
which brought you forth
<03318> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
you the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
[and] to be your God
<0430>_.
And if thy brother
<0251>
[that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,
and be sold
<04376> (8738)
unto thee; thou shalt not compel
<05647> (8799)
him to serve
<05656>
as a bondservant
<05650>_:
{compel...: Heb. serve thyself with him with the service, etc}
[But] as an hired servant
<07916>_,
[and] as a sojourner
<08453>_,
he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve
<05647> (8799)
thee unto the year
<08141>
of jubile
<03104>_:
And [then] shall he depart
<03318> (8804)
from thee, [both] he and his children
<01121>
with him, and shall return
<07725> (8804)
unto his own family
<04940>_,
and unto the possession
<0272>
of his fathers
<01>
shall he return
<07725> (8799)_.
For they [are] my servants
<05650>_,
which I brought forth
<03318> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
they shall not be sold
<04376> (8735)
as
<04466>
bondmen
<05650>_.
{as...: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}
Thou shalt not rule
<07287> (8799)
over him with rigour
<06531>_;
but shalt fear
<03372> (8804)
thy God
<0430>_.
Both thy bondmen
<05650>_,
and thy bondmaids
<0519>_,
which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen
<01471>
that are round about
<05439>
you; of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)
bondmen
<05650>
and bondmaids
<0519>_.
Moreover of the children
<01121>
of the strangers
<08453>
that do sojourn
<01481> (8802)
among you, of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)_,
and of their families
<04940>
that [are] with you, which they begat
<03205> (8689)
in your land
<0776>_:
and they shall be your possession
<0272>_.
And ye shall take them as an inheritance
<05157> (8694)
for your children
<01121>
after
<0310>
you, to inherit
<03423> (8800)
[them for] a possession
<0272>_;
they shall be your bondmen
<05647> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_:
but over your brethren
<0251>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
ye shall not rule
<07287> (8799)
one
<0376>
over another
<0251>
with rigour
<06531>_.
{they...: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them}
And if a sojourner
<01616>
or stranger
<08453>
wax rich
<05381> (8686)
by thee
<03027>_,
and thy brother
<0251>
[that dwelleth] by him wax poor
<04134> (8802)_,
and sell
<04376> (8738)
himself unto the stranger
<01616>
[or] sojourner
<08453>
by thee, or to the stock
<06133>
of the stranger's
<01616>
family
<04940>_:
{wax rich...: Heb. his hand obtain, etc}
After
<0310>
that he is sold
<04376> (8738)
he may be redeemed again
<01353>_;
one
<0259>
of his brethren
<0251>
may redeem
<01350> (8799)
him:
Either his uncle
<01730>_,
or his uncle's
<01730>
son
<01121>_,
may redeem
<01350> (8799)
him, or [any] that is nigh
<07607>
of kin
<01320>
unto him of his family
<04940>
may redeem
<01350> (8799)
him; or if he be able
<05381> (8689)_,
he may redeem
<01350> (8738)
himself
<03027>_.
And he shall reckon
<02803> (8765)
with him that bought
<07069> (8802)
him from the year
<08141>
that he was sold
<04376> (8736)
to him unto the year
<08141>
of jubile
<03104>_:
and the price
<03701>
of his sale
<04465>
shall be according unto the number
<04557>
of years
<08141>_,
according to the time
<03117>
of an hired servant
<07916>
shall it be with him.
If [there be] yet many
<07227>
years
<08141>
[behind], according
<06310>
unto them he shall give again
<07725> (8686)
the price of his redemption
<01353>
out of the money
<03701>
that he was bought
<04736>
for.
And if there remain
<07604> (8738)
but few
<04592>
years
<08141>
unto the year
<08141>
of jubile
<03104>_,
then he shall count
<02803> (8765)
with him, [and] according
<06310>
unto his years
<08141>
shall he give him again
<07725> (8686)
the price of his redemption
<01353>_.
[And] as a yearly
<08141> <08141>
hired servant
<07916>
shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule
<07287> (8799)
with rigour
<06531>
over him in thy sight
<05869>_.
And if he be not redeemed
<01350> (8735)
in these [years], then he shall go out
<03318> (8804)
in the year
<08141>
of jubile
<03104>_,
[both] he, and his children
<01121>
with him. {in these...: or, by these means}
For unto me the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
[are] servants
<05650>_;
they [are] my servants
<05650>
whom I brought forth
<03318> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_.
