Leviticus 25:35-43

³⁵Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.

³⁶Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

³⁷You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.

³⁸I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

³⁹If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.

⁴⁰Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

⁴¹Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.

⁴²Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

⁴³You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
