<0251>

[that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,

and be sold
<04376> (8738)

unto thee; thou shalt not compel

<05647> (8799)

thee unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_:

And [then] shall he depart
<03318> (8804)

from thee, [both] he and his children
<01121>

with him, and shall return

For they [are] my servants
<05650>_,

which I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

of Egypt
<04714>_:

they shall not be sold
<04376> (8735)

<05650>_.

{as...: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}

25:43

Thou shalt not rule
<07287> (8799)

over him with rigour
<06531>_;

thy God
<0430>_.

25:44

Both thy bondmen
<05650>_,

and thy bondmaids
<0519>_,

which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen
<01471>

that are round about
<05439>

you; of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)

bondmen
<05650>

and bondmaids
<0519>_.

Moreover of the children
<01121>

of the strangers
<08453>

that do sojourn
<01481> (8802)

among you, of them shall ye buy

and of their families
<04940>

that [are] with you, which they begat
<03205> (8689)

in your land
<0776>_:

<05157> (8694)

for your children
<01121>

after

[them for] a possession
<0272>_;

they shall be your bondmen
<05647> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_:

but over your brethren
<0251>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

ye shall not rule
<07287> (8799)

one
<0376>

over another
<0251>

with rigour
<06531>_.

{they...: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them}
