35“If any of your kin fall into difficulty and become dependent on you,k you shall support them; they shall live with you as though resident aliens.* 36Do not take interest in advance or otherwise make a profit from them, but fear your God; let them live with you.* 37You shall not lend them your money at interest taken in advance or provide them food at a profit. 38I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.*

39“If any who are dependent on you become so impoverished that they sell themselves to you, you shall not make them serve as slaves.* 40They shall remain with you as hired or bound laborers. They shall serve with you until the year of the Jubilee. 41Then they and their children with them shall go out from your authority; they shall go back to their own family and return to their ancestral property.* 42For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves are sold. 43You shall not rule over them with harshness but shall fear your God.*
