SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:16
Y será que, si él te dijere: No saldré de contigo; porque te ama a ti y a tu casa, que le va bien contigo;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee , etc.] Out of his house, nor quit his service: because he loveth thee and thine house ; his master and his family, and so loath to leave them, but chooses rather to stay with them than have his liberty; hence the Jews say f170 , if his master has not a wife and children, his ear is not to be bored: because he is well with thee; lives well with him , is well used by him, wants for nothing, and enjoys peace and quietness, and has everything to make him happy as such a state will admit of, and with the which he is well contented, and highly pleased. This is an emblem of the cheerful and constant obedience of the people of Christ to him their master, flowing from love to him; whom they love above all persons and things, with all their heart and soul, and his house also, the place of his worship, his ordinances, truths, ministers and children; and therefore choose to be where they are, finding that they are there well used, fare well, having bread enough and to spare, spiritual provisions in plenty; are well clothed with the righteousness of Christ, have the good company of the saints and excellent in the earth, in whom is all their delight; and, above all, the presence of their Lord and master, and the smiles of his countenance.
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.
