At that period the estate which had originally belonged to his father, or remoter ancestor, reverted to his 32 BIBLE VIEW OF SLAVERY. possession, so that he went forth at once a freeman and a landed proprietor. As his privilege of Hebrew citizen was thus only suspended, and thi; law, in permitting him to be sold, contemplated his restoration to his full rights, it took care that during his servitude his mind should not be crushed to the abject and cringing condition of a slave. " Ye shall not r...ule over one another with rigor, " is the provision of the law. (Lev. Xxv. 46. ) Thus he is fenced round with protection against any abuse of power on the part of his employer ; and tradition so strictly interpreted the letter of the law in his favor, that it was a com- mon saying of Biblical times and homes, which Maimonides has preserved to us, that " he who buys an Hebrew bondman gets himself a master. " Though in servitude, this Hebrew was in nowise exempt from his religious duties. Therefore it is not for him or his that the Ten Commandments stipulated for rest on the Sabbath of the Lord ; for his employer could not compel him to work on that day ; and if he did work of his own accord, he became guilty of death, like any other BIBLE VIEW OF SLAVERY.
