To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It refers simply to the money stipulation between the householder and the homeless person, by which the alliance of the latter with the former, 110 BIBLE SERVITUDE RE-EXAMIXED. as a liouseliold member, was effected. It lias no allusion whatever to property ownership in the per- son of the servant. It refers to the bargain made between the householder and the servant, in which the former paid money to the latter, and by which the latter became a member of the household, to do service, and Ije un...der its control. In the repetition and expansion of this statute, in Deut. , chapter xv, this is clearly implied. In the tAvelfth verse the phraseology is, " And if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman he sold unto thee. " The verb used here, and translated '-'he sold, " is translated, in Lev. Xxv: 47, "sell himself. " A similar trans- lation of this same verb may be found in Isa. 1 : 1, and Hi : 3, and in Jer. Xxxiv : 14. That the serv- ant himself received the money paid, is also con- clusively manifest from Lev.
