“And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:”
If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner's clan. The reverse situation: the wealthy foreigner who purchases an Israelite debt-slave. The Israelite who sells themselves to a foreigner receives the same protections as the Israelite who sells themselves to a fellow Israelite: the Jubilee provisions and the redemption rights apply regardless of the master's identity.
