Leviticus 25:35-43

Kindness for Poor Brothers

35 “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, ^ayou shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. 36 ^bTake no interest from him or profit, but ^cfear your God, that your brother may live beside you. 37 ^dYou shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 38 ^eI am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39 ^f“If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave: 40 he shall be with you as a hired worker and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. 41 ^gThen he shall go out from you, ^hhe and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return ⁱto the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are ^jmy servants, ^{▼▼Hebrew slaves} whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 ^lYou shall not rule over him ^mruthlessly but ⁿshall fear your God.
