Leviticus 25:47-55
Redemption of Servants

47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:

47:

48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

48:

49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

49:

50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

50:

51 If [there be] yet many years [behind], according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

51:

52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, [and] according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

52:

53 [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

53:

54 And if he be not redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of jubile, [both] he, and his children with him.

54:

55 For unto me the children of Israel [are] servants; they [are] my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

55:
