38 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, to be as God for you.
39 “ ‘And if your countryman who is with you becomes poor, and he is sold to you, you shall not treat him as a slave.
40 He shall be with you like a hired worker, like a temporary resident; he shall work with you until the Year of Jubilee.
41 And he and his sons with him shall go out from you, and he shall return to his clan, and to the property of his ancestors he shall return.
42 Because they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt, they shall not be sold as a slave.
43 You shall not rule over him with ruthlessness, but you shall revere your God.
44 “ ‘As for your slave and your slave woman who are yours, from the nations that are all around you, from them you may buy a slave or a slave woman.
