25:42 Since they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt, they must not be sold in a slave sale. 1 25:43 You must not rule over him harshly, 2 but you must fear your God.
1 tn Or perhaps reflexive Niphal rather than passive, “they shall not sell themselves [as in] a slave sale.”
2 tnHeb “You shall not rule in him in violence”; cf. NASB “with severity”; NIV “ruthlessly.”
