Leviticus 25:44-46

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴⁴ ‘Also, your bond servant and your bondmaid whom you shall have shall be from the heathen who are around you. From them you shall buy servants and maids.

⁴⁵ ‘And moreover, from the children of the strangers who are sojourners among you, from them you shall buy and from their families who are with you (which they begat in your land). These shall be your possession.

⁴⁶ ‘So you shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possess them by inheritance. You shall use their labors forever. But over your brothers, the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with cruelty.
