Leviticus 25:37
35 Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
36 Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39 If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
