And if a fewness remained to the years till the year of jubilee; and he reckoned to him according to his years, he shall return his redemption. As the hireling of the year by the year shall he be with him: he shall not rule him by crushing to thine eyes. And if he shall not be redeemed in these, and he shall go forth in the year of the jubilee, he and his sons with him. For to me the sons of Israel are servants; they are my servants which I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: I Jehovah your God.
I am Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to be to you for God. And when thy brother shall be poor with thee, and he was sold to thee, thou shalt not serve upon him the service of a servant. As the hireling, as the sojourner, he shall be with thee; till the year of jubilee he shall serve with thee; And he shall go forth from thee, he and his sons with him, and turn back to his family, to the possession of his fathers shall he turn back. For they are my servants whom I brought them out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold from the sale of a servant Thou shalt not rule over him with crushing, and thou shalt be afraid of thy God. And thy servant and thy maid which shall be to thee, from the nations which are round about you, from them ye shall buy servant and maid. And from the sons of the sojourner sojourning with you, from them shall ye buy, and from their families which are with you, which were born in your land: and they were to you for a possession. And ye shall possess them for your sons after you to take possession forever; ye shall serve with them: and over your brethren the sons of Israel, ye shall not rule over him, each over his brother with oppression. And if the hand of a stranger and sojourner with thee shall attain, and thy brother with him be poor, and he sold to the stranger, a sojourner with thee, or to the root of the stranger's family: After the selling, redemption shall be to him; one from his brethren shall redeem him: Or his uncle, or his uncle's son shall redeem him, or from the remainder of his flesh from his family, shall redeem him; or his hand attained, and he redeemed himself. And he reckoned with him buying him, from the year of his being sold to him till the year of the jubilee: and the silver of his selling was according to the number of years, as the days of a hireling, shall it be with him. If yet a multitude of years, according to them he shall return his redemption from the silver of his sale. And if a fewness remained to the years till the year of jubilee; and he reckoned to him according to his years, he shall return his redemption. As the hireling of the year by the year shall he be with him: he shall not rule him by crushing to thine eyes. And if he shall not be redeemed in these, and he shall go forth in the year of the jubilee, he and his sons with him. For to me the sons of Israel are servants; they are my servants which I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: I Jehovah your God.
Furnishing, thou shalt furnish to him from thy sheep and from thy threshing floor, and from thy wine vat: with which Jehovah thy God blessed thee thou shalt give to him.
