Leviticus 25:44

God's Word

“You may have male and female slaves, but buy them from the nations around you.

See the chapter Copy

“Any male slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him.

But if the slave gets up in a day or two, the owner must not be punished. The slave is his property.

Do not treat them harshly. Fear your God.

You may also buy them from the foreigners living among you and from their families born in your country. They will be your property.
