Leviticus 25:44-46

Good News Translation

⁴⁴ If you need slaves, you may buy them from the nations around you. ⁴⁵ You may also buy the children of the foreigners who are living among you. Such children born in your land may become your property, ⁴⁶ and you may leave them as an inheritance to your children, whom they must serve as long as they live. But you must not treat any Israelites harshly.
