Deuteronomio 15:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 15:12

And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold
unto thee
By others, as by the sanhedrim for theft, for which a man might be sold, but not a woman, as Jarchi observes; but then a father might sell his daughter for an handmaid, if little and under age; and to such cases this law is supposed to refer; see ( Exodus 21:2 Exodus 21:7 ) ( 22:3 ) though a man on account of poverty might sell himself:

and serve thee six years;
as he was bound to do, if his master lived so long; if he died before the six years were out, he was obliged to serve his son, but not his daughter, nor his brother, nor his heirs, as the Jewish writers affirm F7: then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee; that is, at the end of the sixth, and beginning of the seventh year; see ( Exodus 21:2 ) .

Deuteronomio 15:12 In-Context

10 Dagli liberalmente; e quando gli darai, non te ne dolga il cuore; perché, a motivo di questo, l’Eterno, l’Iddio tuo, ti benedirà in ogni opera tua e in ogni cosa a cui porrai mano.
11 Poiché i bisognosi non mancheranno mai nel paese; perciò io ti do questo comandamento, e ti dico: "Apri liberalmente la tua mano al tuo fratello povero e bisognoso nel tuo paese".
12 Se un tuo fratello ebreo o una sorella ebrea si vende a te, ti servirà sei anni; ma il settimo, lo manderai via da te libero.
13 E quando lo manderai via da te libero, non lo rimanderai a vuoto;
14 lo fornirai liberalmente di doni tratti dal tuo gregge, dalla tua aia e dal tuo strettoio; gli farai parte delle benedizioni che l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, t’avrà largite;
