Leviticus 25:52-55
Context25:52 but if only a few years remain 1 until the jubilee, he must calculate for himself in keeping with the remaining years and refund it for his redemption. 25:53 He must be with the one who bought him 2 like a yearly hired worker. 3 The one who bought him 4 must not rule over him harshly in your sight. 25:54 If, however, 5 he is not redeemed in these ways, he must go free 6 in the jubilee year, he and his children with him, 25:55 because the Israelites are my own servants; 7 they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
