war), and a merchant buy him free, and bring him back to his place; if he
have the means in his house to buy his freedom, he shall buy himself free:
if he have nothing in his house with which to buy himself free, he shall
be bought free by the temple of his community; if there be nothing in the
temple with which to buy him free, the court shall buy his freedom. His
field, garden, and house shall not be given for the purchase of his
freedom.
