53 He shall be with him as a yearly hired worker;[a] he shall not rule over him with ruthlessness in your[b] sight.[c] 54 And if he is not redeemed by[d] any of these ways,[e] then[f] he and his sons with him shall go out in the Year of Jubilee. 55 Indeed,[g] the Israelites[h] are servants for me; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your[i] God.’”
