Leviticus 25:43

Verse 43

43. Not rule… with rigour Literally, thou shalt not tread on him. The rabbins specified a variety of duties as coming under these general precepts; as compensation for personal injury, exemption from such menial duties as unbinding the master’s sandals or carrying him on a litter, while he was shielded from serious abusive words. The master was also obliged to maintain the servant’s wife and children, though, if they were free, he could exact no work from them. At the end of his term of service the master was forbidden “to let him go away empty.” Deuteronomy 15:13-14.

Fear thy God Genuine piety always bears good will towards man as its first fruit. Acts 16:33; Ephesians 6:9.
