As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you.
but every slave that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him.
But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.
You shall not rule over him ruthlessly but shall fear your God.
You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property.
