40 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee:
41 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
42 For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
44 ''As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
