Leviticus 25:43-55

25:43

Thou shalt not rule
<07287> (8799)

over him with rigour
<06531>_;

but shalt fear
<03372> (8804)

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>_.

25:45

Moreover of the children
<01121>

of the strangers
<08453>

that do sojourn
<01481> (8802)

among you, of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)_,

and of their families
<04940>

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

in your land
<0776>_:

and they shall be your possession
<0272>_.

25:46

And ye shall take them as an inheritance
<05157> (8694)

for your children
<01121>

after
<0310>

you, to inherit
<03423> (8800)

[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}

25:47

And if a sojourner
<01616>

or stranger
<08453>

wax rich
<05381> (8686)

by thee
<03027>_,

and thy brother
<0251>

[that dwelleth] by him wax poor
<04134> (8802)_,

and sell
<04376> (8738)

himself unto the stranger
<01616>

[or] sojourner
<08453>

by thee, or to the stock
<06133>

of the stranger's
<01616>

family
<04940>_:

{wax rich...: Heb. his hand obtain, etc}

25:48

After
<0310>

that he is sold
<04376> (8738)

he may be redeemed again
<01353>_;

one
<0259>

of his brethren
<0251>

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him:

25:49

Either his uncle
<01730>_,

or his uncle's
<01730>

son
<01121>_,

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him, or [any] that is nigh
<07607>

of kin
<01320>

unto him of his family
<04940>

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him; or if he be able
<05381> (8689)_,

he may redeem
<01350> (8738)

himself
<03027>_.

25:50

And he shall reckon
<02803> (8765)

with him that bought
<07069> (8802)

him from the year
<08141>

that he was sold
<04376> (8736)

to him unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_:

and the price
<03701>

of his sale
<04465>

shall be according unto the number
<04557>

of years
<08141>_,

according to the time
<03117>

of an hired servant
<07916>

shall it be with him.

25:51

If [there be] yet many
<07227>

years
<08141>

[behind], according
<06310>

unto them he shall give again
<07725> (8686)

the price of his redemption
<01353>

out of the money
<03701>

that he was bought
<04736>

for.

25:52

And if there remain
<07604> (8738)

but few
<04592>

years
<08141>

unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_,

then he shall count
<02803> (8765)

with him, [and] according
<06310>

unto his years
<08141>

shall he give him again
<07725> (8686)

the price of his redemption
<01353>_.

25:53

[And] as a yearly
<08141> <08141>

hired servant
<07916>

shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule
<07287> (8799)

with rigour
<06531>

over him in thy sight
<05869>_.

25:54

And if he be not redeemed
<01350> (8735)

in these [years], then he shall go out
<03318> (8804)

in the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_,

[both] he, and his children
<01121>

with him. {in these...: or, by these means}

25:55

For unto me the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] servants
<05650>_;

they [are] my servants
<05650>

whom I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.
