And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led out his trained three hundred and eighteen who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

And Abram said, Behold, You have given me no seed; and lo, a son of my house inherits from me.

But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it.

If his master gives him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers agreed.

Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian man, bought him from the hands of the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.

If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free without payment.

He who steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall be executed to death.

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our fields and vineyards.

And I said to them, According to our ability we have redeemed our brothers, the Jews who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brothers? Or should they be sold to us? Then they were silenced and found nothing to answer.

But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, also his wife and children and everything he had, and that payment be made.
