|
And when your brother sinks down (in poverty) beside you, and sells himself
to you,
you shall not compel him to serve as a handservant;
but as a hired servant, as a sojourner shall he be beside you,
(only) until the jubilee year is he to serve beside you.
Then he is to go free from beside you, he and his children with him;
he may return to his clan; to the possession of his fathers he shall return.
(Leviticus
25:39-41 / Behar portion)
