Leviticus 25:53

He must be with the one who bought him ¹  like a yearly hired worker. ²  The one who bought him ³  must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

He is to be treated as a man hired from year to year; you must see to it that his owner does not rule over him ruthlessly.

‘Like a man hired year by year he shall be with him; he shall not rule over him with severity in your sight.

The foreigner must treat them as servants hired on a yearly basis. You must not allow a resident foreigner to treat any of your Israelite relatives ruthlessly.

He is to be treated as a man hired from year to year. You must make sure that his owner does not tyrannize him.

And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.

As a laborer hired by the year they shall be under the alien’s authority, who shall not, however, rule with harshness over them in your sight.

‘He shall be with him as a yearly hired servant, and he shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight.

He must be with the one who bought him ¹  like a yearly hired worker. ²  The one who bought him ³  must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
