Jeremiah 34:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ when the military force of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, that is, ^(A)Lachish and ^(B)Azekah, for they alone remained as ^(C)fortified cities among the cities of Judah.

⁸ The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after King Zedekiah had ^(D)cut a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to ^(E)proclaim ^[a]release to them: ⁹ that each man should let his male slave go free and each man his female slave, a ^(F)Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, so that ^(G)no one should enslave them, each being a Jew, his brother.
