Leviticus 25:35-46 - Kindness For Poor Brothers
35 "'If thy brother be waxed poor and fallen in decay with thee, receive him as a stranger or a sojourner, and let him live by thee. 36 And thou shalt take none usury of him, nor yet vantage. But shalt fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not lend him thy money upon usury, nor lend him of thy food to have advantage by it; 38 for I am the LORD your God which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 "'If thy brother that dwelleth by thee wax poor and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not let him labour as a bondservant doeth: 40 but as a hired servant and as a sojourner he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the trumpet year, 41 and then shall he depart from thee: both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own kindred again and unto the possessions of his fathers; 42 for they are my servants which I brought out of the land of Egypt, and shall not be sold as bondmen. 43 See therefore that thou reign not over him cruelly, but fear thy God. 44 "'If thou wilt have bondservants and maidens, thou shalt buy them of the heathen that are round about you, 45 and of the children of the strangers that are sojourners among you, and of their generations that are with you, which they begat in your land. 46 And ye shall possess them and give them unto your children after you, to possess them for ever: and they shall be your bondmen. But over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not reign one over another cruelly.
