Laws Concerning Hebrew Servitude
Leviticus 25:39-46
39
"'If a member of your people has become poor among you and sells himself to you, do not make him do the work of a slave.
40
Rather, you are to treat him like an employee or a tenant; he will work for you until the year of yovel.
41
Then he will leave you, he and his children with him, and return to his own family and regain possession of his ancestral land.
42
For they are my slaves, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; therefore they are not to be sold as slaves.
43
Do not treat him harshly, but fear your God.
44
"'Concerning the men and women you may have as slaves: you are to buy men- and women-slaves from the nations surrounding you.
45
You may also buy the children of foreigners living with you and members of their families born in your land; you may own these.
46
You may also bequeath them to your children to own; from these groups you may take your slaves forever. But as far as your brothers the people of Isra'el are concerned, you are not to treat each other harshly.
