SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:15
Y te acordarás que fuiste siervo en la tierra de Egipto, y que el SEÑOR tu Dios te rescató; por tanto yo te mando esto hoy.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt , etc.] Where they were used hardly, and their lives were made bitter in hard bondage; and therefore should show the greater compassion to servants, whose case they could not but sympathize with, and have a fellow feeling of and the Lord thy God redeemed thee ; from the house of bondage and state of slavery, after they had been in it many years: therefore I command thee this thing today , to release their servants at the end of six years, and not send them away empty, but generously contribute to them at their release; since when he redeemed them he gave them the spoil of Egypt, and of the sea, as Jarchi remarks; they came out of their bondage state with jewels, and gold, and silver, and raiment, even with great substance; and at the Red sea their spoil was increased which they took from Pharaoh and his host when drowned there; now as they came out of their servitude not empty but full, being sufficiently paid for their hard service, so they should remember to give to their servants liberally, when they made them free.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-18 - Here the law concerning Hebrew servants is repeated. There is a addition, requiring the masters to put some small stock into their servants' hands to set up with for themselves, when sent out of their servitude, wherein they had received no wages. We may expect famil blessings, the springs of family prosperity, when we make conscience of our duty to our family relations. We are to remember that we ar debtors to Divine justice, and have nothing to pay with. That we ar slaves, poor, and perishing. But the Lord Jesus Christ, by becomin poor, and by shedding his blood, has made a full and free provision for the payment of our debts, the ransom of our souls, and the supply of all our wants. When the gospel is clearly preached, the acceptable yea of the Lord is proclaimed; the year of release of our debts, of the deliverance of our souls, and of obtaining rest in him. And as faith in Christ and love to him prevail, they will triumph over the selfishnes of the heart, and over the unkindness of the world, doing away the excuses that rise from unbelief, distrust, and covetousness.
