Leviticus 25:53 Context
51If there be yet many yeeres behinde, according vnto them hee shall giue againe the price of his redemption, out of the money that hee was bought for. 52And if there remaine but few yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according vnto his yeeres shall he giue him againe the price of his redemption. 53And as a yeerely hired seruant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour ouer him in thy sight. 54And if hee be not redeemed in these yeeres, then he shall goe out in the yeere of Iubile, both he, and his children with him. 55For vnto me the children of Israel are seruants, they are my seruants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
