ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૩૪:૯
દરેક માણસ પોતાના હિબ્રૂ દાસ દાસીઓને છોડી મૂકે. જેથી કોઈ પણ માણસ તેઓની પાસે એટલે પોતાના યહૂદા ભાઈ બહેનો પાસે સેવા કરાવે નહિ.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३४:९
कि सब लोग अपने-अपने दास-दासी को जो इब्री या इब्रिन हों, स्वाधीन करके जाने दें, और कोई अपने यहूदी भाई से फिर अपनी सेवा न कराए।

In context

7when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

8The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,

9that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.

10All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,

11but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
