'Rule' in the Bible

You must not rule over him harshly, but you must fear your God.

You may give them as inheritance to your children after you to possess as property. You may enslave them perpetually. However, as for your brothers the Israelites, no man may rule over his brother harshly.

He must be with the one who bought him like a yearly hired worker. The one who bought him must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

I will set my face against you. You will be struck down before your enemies, those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when there is no one pursuing you.
