출애굽기 21:7 KRV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:1-11

1-11 The laws in this chapter relate to the fifth and sixth commandments; and though they differ from our times and customs, nor are they binding on us, yet they explain the moral law, and the rules of natural justice. The servant, in the state of servitude, was an emblem of that state of bondage to sin, Satan, and the law, which man is brought into by robbing God of his glory, by the transgression of his precepts. Likewise in being made free, he was an emblem of that liberty wherewith Christ,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 21:1-11

Precepts Regulating the Master's Relation to Slaves v. 1. Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. These were special ordinances concerning the political commonwealth of the Jews. In the New Testament God's revelation is no longer confined to one single people, and we no longer have any state under the direct government of God. And yet, also these ordinances were recorded for our learning, especially for the purpose of teaching us various applications of the law of love. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 21:1-36

At this point we have certain laws which apply the principles of the Decalogue to life. The first movement has to do with the laws of the person. This begins with the relation of slaves to their masters. By these laws slavery was changed into covenant relationship. Henceforward the condition of slaves among the Hebrew people would be in marked distinction to slavery as existing among other peoples. It was the beginning of a great moral movement. The right of a master to service by a definite... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:1-36

Expansion of the Ten Words of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22 to Exodus 23:33 ). In this section, which is composed of elements put together mainly in chiastic form (see later), Yahweh expands on the Ten Words of the covenant. Notice that it begins with ‘and Yahweh said to Moses’. This proceeds as follows: a Instructions concerning future worship in obedience to the commandments in Exodus 20:3-5, for He will be with them and record His name in places where they go (Exodus 20:22-26). b ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:7-11

Provision in Respect of A Woman Sold To Be A Slave Wife. The remaining provisions protected a woman sold to be a slave wife permanently and were necessary for her. It meant that she could not be discarded when older. It will be noted that this system allowed a form of divorce. It was not really God’s purpose, but controlled a system that already existed because of the hardness of their hearts. We may analyse this as follows: a A woman bought with promises of marriage could not be treated in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:2-11

Exodus 21:2-1 Kings : E. The Laws of Slavery.— In the 19th cent. slaves were bought and sold as chattels in Liverpool. Here we see one of the stages towards the abolition of slavery, i.e. regulation, then the only practicable course. Hebrews might become slaves through sale by parents, or forced sale for theft or insolvency, or through poverty (p. 110). Later stages of law are reflected in Deuteronomy 15:12-Job : * and Leviticus 25:39-2 Timothy : *. A male slave by six years’ service... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 21:7

A man, i.e. a Hebrew, as appears by the opposition of one of a strange nation, Exodus 21:8. For a man to sell his daughter to be a maid-servant was allowed in case of extreme necessity, because of the hardness of their hearts. She shall not go out as the men-servants do, but upon better terms, as being one of the weaker and more helpless sex. Quest. How doth this agree with Deuteronomy 15:17, Also unto thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise? Answ. 1. Distinguish persons. She, Deuteronomy 15:17... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:1-36

Exodus chapter twenty-one, God said to Moses,Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them ( Exodus 21:1 ).Now the judgments are really for the judges. You remember they appointed seventy to rule over the lesser, or they appointed "men over the thousands, men over the hundreds, men over the fifties, men over the tens", to judge in the smaller matters. So that they would only bring the major cases to Adam-I mean to Moses, so that Moses wouldn't be bogged down. Jethro said, "Hey,... read more
