Verse 13 is found in chapter 15 of Deuteronomy. A Hebrew slave must be released in the seventh year and must not be sent away empty-handed. The owner must provide generously from his resources. The legislation transforms the memory of slavery in Egypt into a reason to limit slavery within Israel: those whom God delivered must treat their own brothers differently.

Und wenn du ihn frei losgibst, sollst du ihn nicht leer von dir gehen lassen,
Y cuando lo despidieres libre de ti, no lo enviarás vacío:
Cuando lo dejes ir libre, no lo enviarás con las manos vacías.
Et lorsque tu le renverras libre de chez toi, tu ne le renverras point à vide;
E quando tu lo rimanderai in libertà d’appresso a te, non rimandarlo vuoto.
E, quando o deixares ir livre, não o despedirás vazio.
你讓他自由離開的時候,不可讓他空手而去,
