That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 34 of Jeremiah. Zedekiah is warned that Jerusalem will be handed over to Babylon, but he is promised that he will die in peace and receive funeral honors. The chapter also recalls a temporary liberation of Hebrew slaves carried out during the siege. The initial act of obedience will later be reversed, revealing the moral inconsistency of the leaders.

daß ein jeglicher seinen Knecht und seine Magd, so Hebräer und Hebräerin wären, sollte freigeben, daß kein Jude den andern leibeigen hielte.
Que cada uno dejase su siervo, y cada uno su sierva, hebreo y hebrea, libres; que ninguno usase de los Judíos su hermanos como de siervos.
cada uno debía dejar libres a su esclavo hebreo y a su esclava hebrea, para que nadie mantuviera en esclavitud a un judío, hermano suyo.
afin que chacun renvoyât libres son esclave et sa servante, l'Hébreu et la femme de l'Hébreu, et que personne ne tînt plus dans la servitude le Juif, son frère.
per fare che ciascuno rimandasse in libertà il suo servo, e la sua serva, Ebreo, ed Ebrea; acciocchè niuno tenesse più in servitù alcun suo fratello Giudeo.
Que cada um despedisse livre o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, hebreu ou hebréia; de maneira que ninguém se fizesse servir deles, sendo judeus, seus irmãos.
