25:40. But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee. 25:41. And afterwards he shall go out with his children: and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers. 25:42. For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen. 25:43. Afflict him not by might: but fear thy God. 25:44. Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you: 25:45. And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land. These you shall have for servants: 25:46. And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might. 25:47. If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race: 25:48. After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him: 25:49. Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself: 25:50. Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant. 25:51. If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price. 25:52. If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years: and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years. 25:53. His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight. 25:54. And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children. 25:55. For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. Leviticus Chapter 26 God’s promises to them that keep his commandments. And the many punishments with which he threatens transgressors. 26:1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing: neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it. For I am the Lord your God. 26:2. Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. 26:3. If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rain in due seasons. 26:4. And the ground shall bring forth its increase: and the trees shall be filled with fruit. 26:5. The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear. 26:6. I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.
