today we are gonna ask about Leviticus : specially LEVITICUS 25:44-46
44 Your male and female slaves shall come from the nations around you; from them you may purchase slaves.
45 You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
46 ye, shall take them (the slaves) as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them (the slaves) for a possession, they shall be, your BONDMEN (slaves) for ever . . .
how do you understand this extract? Using a textual reading interpretation, I understand way more events of today's world. And I guess they believe having slave is great, and totally legal for them. Do you agree to be a slave "for ever"?
it's gonna be a fun discussion
. I think this extract will take us a lot of time to understand, and specially to analyse it's actual application in the usa.
In short the goyim is a slave too... okay.
please refute
Based on my understanding, if you continue reading verse 46, it says that they are forbidden to rule over their fellow Israelites ruthlessly. These slaves that they are allowed to buy and take are not from the people of their own, they are from other clans. To understand these passage of scriptures in the old Testament of the Bible you must understand the whole story of the Israelites from the beginning. They also have this what they call year of jubilee when slaves after serving for 7 years shall be free from being slaves and go back to his own country but then they are given the choice if they want to remain with their master then the master must take them back as slaves again. If they don’t have home or no family to live with they choose to remain. They are being bought as slaves with their consent because being slave is better for them, they are fed, sheltered and protected.
