LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁴ " 'As for* your* slave and your* slave woman who are* yours,* from the nations that are all around you,* from them you* may buy a slave or* a slave woman. ⁴⁵ And you* may buy also from the children* of the temporary residents who are dwelling with you as aliens and from their clan who are with you, who have children in your land; indeed,* they may be as property for you. ⁴⁶ And you* may pass them on as an inheritance to your* sons* after you* to take possession of as property _⌊for all time_⌋*—you* may let them work. But* as for your* countrymen,* the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* you* shall not rule with ruthlessness over _⌊one another_⌋.*
