Leviticus 25:44-45

25:44 “‘As for your male and female slaves ¹  who may belong to you – you may buy male and female slaves from the nations all around you. ²  25:45 Also you may buy slaves ³  from the children of the foreigners who reside with you, and from their families that are ⁴  with you, whom they have fathered in your land, they may become your property.

[25:44]  ¹ tn Heb “And your male slave and your female slave.” Smr has these as plural terms, “slaves,” not singular.

[25:44]  ² tn Heb “ from the nations which surround you, from them you shall buy male slave and female slave.”

[25:45]  ³ tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.

[25:45]  ⁴ tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).
