Exodus 21:5,6 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Beside the sense of those verses in reference to the servitude among the houses of Israel, is there not somewhat strikingly typical of the Lord Jesus here represented? Did he not say, by the mouth of the prophet, from the love he had to his Father and his Father's house, I delight to do thy will, O my God: mine ears hast thou opened. Psalms 40:6; Psalms 40:6; John 8:35.

Exodus 21:5-6

5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
