Leviticus 25:46 in Context — Leviticus 25
44 C’est des nations qui vous entourent que tu prendras ton esclave et ta servante qui t’appartiendront, c’est d’elles que vous achèterez l’esclave et la servante.
45 Vous pourrez aussi en acheter des enfants des étrangers qui demeureront chez toi, et de leurs familles qu’ils engendreront dans votre pays; et ils seront votre propriété.
46 Vous les laisserez en héritage à vos enfants après vous, comme une propriété; vous les garderez comme esclaves à perpétuité. Mais à l’égard de vos frères, les enfants d’Israël, aucun de vous ne dominera avec dureté sur son frère.
47 Si un étranger, si celui qui demeure chez toi devient riche, et que ton frère devienne pauvre près de lui et se vende à l’étranger qui demeure chez toi ou à quelqu’un de la famille de l’étranger,
48 il y aura pour lui le droit de rachat, après qu’il se sera vendu: un de ses frères pourra le racheter.
