39. And if your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondman (a slave not eligible for redemption),
40. But as a hired servant and as a temporary resident he shall be with you; he shall serve you till the Year of Jubilee,
41. And then he shall depart from you, he and his children with him, and shall go back to his own family and return to the possession of his fathers.
42. For the Israelites are My servants; I brought them out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen. [I Cor. 7:23.]
