1The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 of years, seven times seven years, so that the period of seven weeks of years gives forty-nine years.
9 you shall support them; they shall live with you as though resident aliens.
36Ex 22.25; Deut 23.19, 20Do not take interest in advance or otherwise make a profit from them, but fear your God; let them live with you.
37You shall not lend them your money at interest taken in advance or provide them food at a profit.
38Lev 11.45I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
39 Ex 21.2; Deut 15.12; 1 Kings 9.22 “If any who are dependent on you become so impoverished that they sell themselves to you, you shall not make them serve as slaves.
40They shall remain with you as hired or bound laborers. They shall serve with you until the year of the Jubilee.
41v 28; Ex 21.3Then they and their children with them shall go out from your authority; they shall go back to their own family and return to their ancestral property.
42For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves are sold.
43vv 46, 53; Ex 1.13, 14You shall not rule over them with harshness but shall fear your God.
44As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves.
45Isa 56.3, 6You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property.
46v 43You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.
47“If resident aliens among you prosper, and if any of your kin fall into difficulty with one of them and sell themselves to an alien or to a branch of the alien’s family,
48Neh 5.5even after they have sold themselves they shall have the right of redemption; one of their brothers may redeem them,
49v 26or their uncle or their uncle’s son may redeem them, or anyone of their family who is of their own flesh may redeem them, or if they prosper they may redeem themselves.
50Job 7.1; Isa 16.14; 21.16They shall compute with the purchaser the total from the year when they sold themselves to the alien until the Jubilee year; the price of the sale shall be applied to the number of years: the time they were with the owner shall be rated as the time of a hired laborer.
51Jer 32.7If many years remain, they shall pay for their redemption in proportion to the purchase price,
52and if few years remain until the Jubilee year, they shall compute thus: according to the years involved they shall make payment for their redemption.
53As a laborer hired by the year they shall be under the alien’s authority, who shall not, however, rule with harshness over them in your sight.
54And if they have not been redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children with them shall go out in the Jubilee year.
55For to me the Israelites are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
