Primary Verses:
-
Deuteronomy 15:12-17
-
"And if thy brother, an Hebrew
man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve
thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let
him go free from thee. And when thou sendest him out
free from thee, thou
shalt not let him go away empty: Thou shalt furnish him
liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and
out of thy winepress: of that wherewith YHVH thy God
hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the
land of Egypt, and YHVH thy God redeemed thee: therefore
I command thee this thing to day. And it shall be, if
he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because
he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with
thee; Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it
through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy
servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou
shalt do likewise."
