Leviticus 25:35-46 - Kindness For Poor Brothers

³⁵ And, when thy brother waxeth poor, and his hand becometh feeble with thee, then shalt thou strengthen him, as a sojourner and a settler, so shall he live with thee. ³⁶ Do not accept from him interest or profit, but stand thou in awe of thy God, - so shall thy brother live with thee. ³⁷ Thy silver, shalt thou not give him on interest, - neither, for profit, shalt thou give him thy food. ³⁸ I - Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, - to give unto you the land of Canaan, to become your God,

³⁹ And when thy brother waxeth poor with thee, and so selleth himself unto thee, thou shalt not bind him with the bondage of a bondman: ⁴⁰ as a hired servant, as a settler, shall he remain with thee, - until the year of the jubilee, shall he serve with thee: ⁴¹ then shall he go forth from thee, he and his sons with him, - and shall return unto his family, and unto the possession of his fathers, shall he return. ⁴² For, my bondmen, they are, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt, - they shall not sell themselves with the sale of a bondman. ⁴³ Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour, - so shalt thou stand in awe of thy God. ⁴⁴ And as for thy bondman and thy bond-maid which thou shalt have, of the nations that are round about you - from them, may ye buy bondman and bond-maid. ⁴⁵ Moreover also, of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you - of them, may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land, - so shall they become yours, as a possession; ⁴⁶ and ye may take them as an inheritance for your sons after you to inherit as a possession, unto times age-abiding, of them, may ye take to be bondmen, - but, over your brethren the sons of Israel - a man over his brother, ye shall not rule, over him with rigour.
