Jeremiah 34:13

Freedom for Hebrew Slaves

12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,13“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:14Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
