Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 15:12

(12) In the seventh year.—This is to be understood of the Sabbatical year whenever it came. It would rarely happen that the Hebrew slave would serve for the full period of six years. read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 15:1-18

11. The Year of Release and Liberation of Hebrew Slaves CHAPTER 15:1-18 1. The year of release (Deuteronomy 15:1-11 ) 2. The liberation of the Hebrew slaves (Deuteronomy 15:12-18 ) The poor and those who have no possession were to be remembered in kindness and have a share in the blessings. Linked with this law are the laws not to force and oppress the poor, the year of release and the liberation of the slaves. The great Sabbatic year, the seventh, brought the release. See Exodus 23:10... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

SEVENTH YEAR RELEASE OF DEBTS (vs.1-6) Out of compassion for the poor God required creditors to release debtors from their debts at the end of seven years. This surely reminds us of the grace of God in forgiving our great debt of sin by means of the sacrifice of His beloved Son. This was evidently a general year of release, not a release of any particular debt after seven years (v.9). some people might take advantage of this to borrow money just before the time of release, but notice verse... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:1-23

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 15:12-18

Great Principles Applied Deu 15:12-18 It appears, then, that even bondage does not destroy brotherhood. Observe how the permanent and the temporary are joined in this verse. The brother continues for ever. It is not brotherhood but slavery that ceases. When the man goes out he goes out a brother: his old yesterday of bondage is a cloud blown away; but the fraternal instinct and the fraternal responsibility can only end with life. Yet how wonderfully accidents or temporary circumstances modify... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 15:12

Free. The Hebrews might sell themselves only to their own countrymen; and the judges might condemn those who had committed a theft, and had not wherewith to make restitution, to be sold to their brethren. See Exodus xxi. 2. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 15:12-18

12-18 Here the law concerning Hebrew servants is repeated. There is an addition, requiring the masters to put some small stock into their servants' hands to set up with for themselves, when sent out of their servitude, wherein they had received no wages. We may expect family blessings, the springs of family prosperity, when we make conscience of our duty to our family relations. We are to remember that we are debtors to Divine justice, and have nothing to pay with. That we are slaves, poor, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 15:12-18

The Release of Hebrew Servants v. 12. 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. Exodus 21:2-Joshua :. This was a form of serfdom, rather than slaver?, brought about by such a condition of poverty as to oblige a person to sell his services to his neighbor in order to live. v. 13. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, having given him his liberty in the seventh year as... read more
