A Hebrew master of a non-Hebrew slave ought to be working to turn that slave into a Hebrew. If a Hebrew owns a non-Hebrew slave more than seven years, then he's not doing his job as a master. (Lev 25-26, Exo 21, Jer 34)

A Hebrew master knows he's done well when his foreign slave exhibits 3 behaviors:

1) Worships YHVH instead of false gods
2) Keeps the Sabbath
3) Reverences the Temple and his fellow Hebrews.

When a foreign slave exhibits these three signs, he is no longer a foreigner, but a Hebrew. Then the rules change.

This EVENING, at 8:30pm CDT, is the premiere of our new Home Worship Video Resource over on our YouTube channel! Join the chat and let's fellowship! See you soon.

Shabbat shalom, y'all!

"We wait for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua.

He gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and so that He might purify for Himself a chosen people, zealous for good deeds."
(Tit 2:13-14 TLV)

"Who is my neighbor?"

Yeshua flips this question around and lays the burden on us.

WE CAN BE THE NEIGHBOR who lends his hands in the service of others. Even when we can expect nothing in return.

The burden becomes whether WE will be the neighbor to others rather than waiting for them to be the neighbor to us.

Luke 10:25-37

Biblical slavery is nothing like the slavery seen in much of the world today, especially in Africa and Asia. It was intended as a tool for personal reform and recovery, not for exploitation. A Hebrew master must never be cruel, abusive, or tyrannical. His goal ought to be to make his slaves into respectable, self-sufficient Hebrews that must be released in the seventh year after six years of service.

A poor Hebrew who sold himself to a foreign master must be released in the seventh year also, but may be redeemed at any time by a fellow Hebrew.

Leviticus 25

For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.
#leviticus 25:42

Messiah #yeshua, King of Israel, is the true master of every believer, and any authority over a believer can only be delegated temporarily.
