Setting Slaves Free

(Exodus 21.1-11)

Moses said to Israel:

^12 (A) If any of you buy Israelites as slaves, you must set them free after six years. ¹³ And don't just tell them they are free to leave— ¹⁴ give them sheep and goats and a good supply of grain and wine. The more the Lord has given you, the more you should give them.
