pose to insert in this place the 44h 4sh and 4sh

shalt have shall be OF the heather that are round about
you of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmalds
"45 Moreover of the children OF the strangers that do So
journ among YOU OF them shall ye buy ana OF ther ami
lies that with you which they beget in your land and
they shall be your possession.
40 And We shall take them inheritance for your
children after you inherit them for possession they
shall be your bondmen FOREVER"
