" I would render the original as follows : — " When a priest may come into possession of a person by means of his money, he [the servant] shall eat of it, [i. E. The priest's food] and one boTTi in his house, they shall eat of his food J ^ I would paraphrase as follows ; When a priest comes into possession of a servant, who is not hired, but is obtained by the payment of money to his parent or ward, such person be- coming properly a member of the priest's family, is to be treated accordingly, a...nd is to eat at the priest's table and of the food set apart for him ; whereas a hired servant, who is hu-ed lor only a brief period, as a day or a week, is to board with his own family and not with the family of the priest. — So likewise every child born in a priest's family, whether it be a child of his own or a child of his son, such child is to be provided for and is to be considered a legitimate member of his family, and has a right to support out of the priest's sti- pends. The passage therefore does not prove slavery.
