What does Leviticus 25:45 mean?

You can also buy workers and their families from the outsiders living among you, or from the families they've raised in your land. They'll become your property. Leviticus 25:45 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse talks about acquiring servants from foreigners living in Israel, not from fellow Israelites. The language reflects the ancient world’s norms about servitude and property.)
