Levitico 25:44 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:44

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have,
&c.] Such it seems were allowed them, if they had need of them; but if they had them, they were to be not of the nation of Israel, but of other nations; this is an anticipation of an objection, as Jarchi observes; if so, who shall I have to minister to me? The answer follows, they [shall be] of the heathen that are round about thee, of them shall ye
buy bondmen and bondmaids;
that is, of the Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, and Syrians, as Aben Ezra, that were their neighbours, that lived round about them, of any but the seven nations, which they were ordered utterly to destroy; wherefore Jarchi observes it is said, "that are round about thee"; not in the midst of the border of your land, for them they were not to save alive, ( Deuteronomy 20:16 ) .

Levitico 25:44 In-Context

42 Poiché essi sono miei servi, ch’io trassi dal paese d’Egitto; non debbono esser venduti come si vendono gli schiavi.
43 Non lo dominerai con asprezza, ma temerai il tuo Dio.
44 Quanto allo schiavo e alla schiava che potrete avere in proprio, li prenderete dalle nazioni che vi circondano; da queste comprerete lo schiavo e la schiava.
45 Potrete anche comprarne tra i figliuoli degli stranieri stabiliti fra voi e fra le loro famiglie che si troveranno fra voi, tra i figliuoli ch’essi avranno generato nel vostro paese; e saranno vostra proprietà.
46 E li potrete lasciare in eredità ai vostri figliuoli dopo di voi, come loro proprietà; vi servirete di loro come di schiavi in perpetuo; ma quanto ai vostri fratelli, i figliuoli d’Israele, nessun di voi dominerà l’altro con asprezza.
