³⁵‘And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee; ³⁶thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee; ³⁷thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food; ³⁸I am Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.

³⁹‘And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service; ⁴⁰as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee,— ⁴¹then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.

⁴²‘For they are My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold with the sale of a servant; ⁴³thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.
