In context
36 Usimtoze riba au kujaribu kunufaika kutoka kwake katika njia yoyote, bali mheshimu Mungu wako ili kwamba ndugu yako aendelee kuishi nawe.
37 Hutampa mkopo wa fedha na kumtoza riba, wala hutamuuzia chakula chako ili kupata faida.
38 Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wako, aliye kuleta wewe kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili kwamba Nikupe nchi ya Kanaani, na kwamba niwe Mungu wako.
39 Iwapo mwananchi mwenzako atakuwa masikini na kujiuza mwenyewe kwako, hutamfanyisha kazi kama mtumwa.
40 Mtendee kama mtumishi wa kuajiriwa. Ni lazima awe kama yule ahudumuye nawe kwa muda mpaka mwaka wa Yubile.
41 Kisha ataondoka kwako, yeye mwenyewe na watoto wake pamoja naye, na atarejea kwenye familia yake mwenyewe na kwenye miliki ya baba yake.
42 Kwa sababu wao ni watumishi wangu niliowaleta kutoka katika nchi ya Misri. Hawatauzwa kama watumwa.
