Jeremiah 34:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ that each man should let his male slave go free and each man his female slave, a ^(A)Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, so that ^(B)no one should enslave them, each being a Jew, his brother. ¹⁰ And all the ^(C)officials and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant that each man should let his male slave go free and each man his female slave, so that no one should enslave them any longer; they obeyed and let them go free. ¹¹ But afterwards they turned around and returned to themselves the male slaves and the female slaves, whom they had let go as free, and subdued them to be male slaves and female slaves.
