But he shall be like a hired hand or a settler; he shall work with you, until the year of the Jubilee.

For these are my servants, and I led them away from the land of Egypt; let them not be sold into the condition of servitude.

Let your male and female servants be from the nations which are all around you,
and from the newcomers who sojourn with you, or who have been born from them in your land. These you shall have as servants,
and, by the right of inheritance, you shall transmit them to your posterity, and you shall possess them forever. But do not oppress your brothers, the sons of Israel, by power.
