The injunction is ad- dressed to the Jewish nation ; the only one on the face of the earth, at the time, that was not idolatrous, and which, as before seen, was the depository of the true religion. Now the fact that this law was delivered to them in their national capacity, is proof positive that it cannot be understood as requiring them to hold or retain each other's escaping servants. The bad practical consequences, so disastrous to the peace of the nation, resulting from such a course, or th...e infrac- tion of a practice which the laws they received from the mouth of God tolerated, forbids, absolutely, such a construction of the passage ; especially in the face of what seems to be its most easy and natural meaning, a sense so consonant with the whole spirit of the patri- archal and Jewish law on this subject ; which is, that these escaping servants were from the heathen idola- trous nations round about them, and who, on coming among them, were benefited according to the superior advantages of the Jewish religion, as compared with their former heathen state or condition.
