Deuteronomy 23:15 (King James Version)
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
- We cannot suppose that this law required the Israelites to entertain slaves who had robbed their masters, or left their service without cause; but such only as were cruelly treated, and fled to them for protection, especially from the neighbouring nations. To such they were commanded to afford shelter, and shew great kindness.
