⁴⁴ Those men and women you may have who are sold as servants will be from the nations around you. ⁴⁵ You may buy from among the children of the strangers who live among you, and from their families that are with you and were born in your land. You may own them. ⁴⁶ You may give them to your children after you, to receive as their own. You can have them as servants forever. But do not make it hard for your brothers, the people of Israel.
