36-37 Don't take advantage of them by charging any kind of interest or selling them food for profit. Instead, honour me by letting them stay where they now live.
38 Remember—I am the Lord your God! I rescued you from Egypt and gave you the land of Canaan, so that I would be your God.
39 Suppose some of your people become so poor that they have to sell themselves and become your slaves.
40 Then you must treat them as servants, rather than as slaves. And in the Year of Celebration they are to be set free,
41 so they and their children may return home to their families and property.
42 I brought them out of Egypt to be my servants, not to be sold as slaves.
43 So obey me, and don't be cruel to the poor.
