³⁵And if thy brother grow poor, and he be fallen into decay beside thee, then thou shalt relieve him, be he stranger or sojourner, that he may live beside thee. ³⁶Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee. ³⁷Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. ³⁸I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.

³⁹And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant: ⁴⁰as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee. ⁴¹Then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. ⁴²For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as men sell bondmen. ⁴³Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.
