Leviticus

³⁸I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God. ³⁹And if thy brother be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant: ⁴⁰as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubile: ⁴¹then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. ⁴²For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. ⁴³Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. ⁴⁴And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
