Leviticus 25:46
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
KJV
et hæreditario jure transmittetis ad posteros, ac possidebitis in æternum : fratres autem vestros filios Israël ne opprimatis per potentiam.
Vulgate
καὶ καταμεριεῖτε αὐτοὺς τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν μεθ’ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν κατόχιμοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ οὐ κατατενεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς μόχθοις.
LXX
And ye shall make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigor.
