as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit
them for
a possession; they shall be your
bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another
with rigour.
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:
48
After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 L
ORD
your God.
CHAPTER 26
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall
ye set up
any
image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I
am
the L
ORD
your God.
2
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
am
the L
ORD
.
3
If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4
Then I will give you
rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their
fruit.
5
And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing
time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6
And I will give peace
in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make
you
afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of
the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they
shall fall before you by the sword.
8
And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you
shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9
For I will
have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with
you.
10
And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11
And I will set my
tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12
And I will walk among you, and will
be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13
I
am
the L
ORD
your God, which brought you forth out
of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your
yoke, and made you go upright.
