613 (Israel, quote, faith, Commandments)

[LearnMe]

187. That the hired laborer shall not take more than he can eat (Deut. 23:25) (CCN187).

[LearnMe]

188. To pay wages to the hired man at the due time (Deut. 24:15) (CCA66).

Seems a decided perspective related to the employer as a rule...

[LearnMe]

189. To deal judicially with the Hebrew bondman in accordance with the laws appertaining to him (Ex. 21:2-6)

[LearnMe]

190. Not to compel the Hebrew servant to do the work of a slave (Lev. 25:39)

God is getting a little more interesting now...

[LearnMe]

191. Not to sell a Hebrew servant as a slave (Lev. 25:42)

Seems god was okay with slavery? Just not Hebrew slavery?

[LearnMe]

192. Not to treat a Hebrew servant rigorously (Lev. 25:43)

[LearnMe]

193. Not to permit a gentile to treat harshly a Hebrew bondman sold to him (Lev. 25:53)

[LearnMe]

194. Not to send away a Hebrew bondman servant empty handed, when he is freed from service (Deut. 15:13)

I forget who made the argument these commandments are so hard to understand. Most seem pretty clear and straight-forward to me...

[LearnMe]

195. To bestow liberal gifts upon the Hebrew bondsman (at the end of his term of service), and the same should be done to a Hebrew bondwoman (Deut. 15:14)

Is this God talking? Or money?

[LearnMe]

196. To redeem a Hebrew maid-servant (Ex. 21:8)
