Leviticus 22:11

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread." — Leviticus 22:11 (ASV)

This shows how completely a purchased bondsman was incorporated into the household. See Exodus 21:2, note; Exodus 21:20–21, note.
