“‘If a resident foreigner who is with you prospers and your brother becomes impoverished with regard to him so that he sells himself to a resident foreigner who is with you or to a member of a foreigner’s family,

“I am a temporary settler among you. Grant me ownership of a burial site among you so that I may bury my dead.”

“‘No lay person may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,

You may have the Sabbath produce of the land to eat – you, your male servant, your female servant, your hired worker, the resident foreigner who stays with you,

The land must not be sold without reclaim because the land belongs to me, for you are foreigners and residents with me.

“‘If your brother becomes impoverished and is indebted to you, you must support him; he must live with you like a foreign resident.

He must be with you as a hired worker, as a resident foreigner; he must serve with you until the year of jubilee,

Hear my prayer, O Lord! Listen to my cry for help! Do not ignore my sobbing! For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land; I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were.

Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As certainly as the Lord God of Israel lives (whom I serve), there will be no dew or rain in the years ahead unless I give the command.”
