“‘ If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.

其實我們的骨肉就等於我們族弟兄的骨肉，我們的兒女就等於他們的兒女；然而你看，我們竟在強迫着自己的兒女去做奴婢呢；而我們的女兒已有被強迫了的，我們的手卻無能為力，因為我們的田地和葡萄園已屬於別人了。』

神言人弟子們的妻子中間有一個人向以利沙哀求說：『你僕人我丈夫死了；你知道你僕人是敬畏永恆主的；現在有債主來，要取我的兩個孩子去做奴僕。』

你們可以將他們遺留給你們的後裔子孫、取為產業；你們永遠要從這樣的人中間去取奴隸；只是你們的族弟兄、以色列人呢、你們卻不可用嚴酷的手段相管轄。

『你的族弟兄、一個希伯來男人或一個希伯來女人、若賣給你，他要服事你六年；第七年你就要送他自由離開你。你送他自由離開你的時候，可不要送他空手而去；要從你的羊羣、禾場、酒池中、給他滿載榮歸；永恆主你的上帝怎樣賜福與你，你就怎樣分給他。
