47 “‘A foreigner or visitor among you might become rich. And someone in your country might become poor. The poor man might sell himself as a slave to a foreigner living among you. Or he might sell himself to a member of a foreigner’s family. 48 The poor man has the right to be bought back and become free. One of his relatives may buy him back.
