Deuteronomy 15:12-18 And if your brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold to you, and serve you six years… In this ordinance we may see — I. AN ENCOURAGING EMBLEM. It represents — 1. The redemption which God vouchsafes to His people. 2. The mercy which He exercises towards His redeemed. II. AN INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. We are to regard God's mercies as — 1. A pattern for our imitation. 2. A notice for our exertion. (C. Simeon, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
