38 I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 When your kindred with you, having been so reduced to poverty, sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.
40 Rather, let them be like laborers or like your tenants, working with you until the jubilee year,
41 when, together with any children, they shall be released from your service and return to their family and to their ancestral property.
42 Since they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they shall not sell themselves as slaves are sold.
43 Do not lord it over them harshly, but stand in fear of your God.
44 The male and female slaves that you possess—these you shall acquire from the nations round about you.
