The law made an example of the offender. That "those that remain might hear and fear." "If a man cause a blemish in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall it be done unto him. Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Ye shall have one manner of law as well for the STRANGER as for one of your own country." Lev xxiv. 19, 20, 22.
Deut. xxxi. 10-13; Joshua viii. 33-35; 2 Chronicles xvii. 8-9. The Passover, which commenced on the 15th of the 1st month, and lasted seven days, Deut. xvi. 3, 8. The Pentecost, or Feast of Weeks, which began on the sixth day of the third month, and lasted seven days. Lev. xxiii. 15-21. And the Feast of Tabernacles, which commenced on the 15th of the seventh month, and lasted eight days.
The following references are absolutely unanswerable by the critics, viz.: Lev. i. 1: "The Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him." Lev. iv. 1: "The Lord spake unto Moses, saying," etc. Lev. vi. 1; "And the Lord spake unto Moses." Lev. viii. 1: "And the Lord spake unto Moses." Lev. viii. 36: "Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses."
Peter quotes a passage from the Old Testament, Lev. xix., where God says: "Be ye holy for I am holy;" that is, since I am your Lord and God, and ye are my people, ye too must be as I am. For a faithful master secures that his people shall be like him, and walk in obedience, and be conformed to the master's will.
He was a man of middle height, but of extremely powerful frame, and was habited in the garb of a fisherman. "Truly I had been gone altogether but for your timely assistance; may God reward you for it!" said Oliver earnestly. "Well, I don't think you would be so ready to thank me if you did knaw I had half made up my mind to lev 'ee go."
"I have made up my mind that I shall not go back to Oxford this term; would your grace do me the great favor of presenting me at the next lev e?" One's life changes in a moment. Half a month ago, Lothair, without an acquaintance, was meditating his return to Oxford. Now he seemed to know everybody who was anybody. His table was overflowing with invitations to all the fine houses in town.
V. The servant was protected by law equally with the other members of the community. Proof. Deut. i. 16, 17. Also Lev. xxiv. 22. "Ye shall have one manner of law as well for the STRANGER, as for one of your own country." So Numb. xv. 29.
Lev. xxv, 47-55. Before going into an examination of the laws by which these servants were protected, I would just ask whether American slaves have become slaves in any of the ways in which the Hebrews became servants. Did they sell themselves into slavery and receive the purchase money into their own hands? No! No!
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen forever. Lev. xxv. 44-46. The points in these verses, urged as proof, that the Mosaic system sanctioned slavery, are 1. The word "BONDMEN." 2. The second point, the buying of servants, has been already discussed, see page 15.
We repeat what has been shown above, that the word rendered bondmen in Lev. xxv. 44, is used to point out persons rendering service for others, totally irrespective of the principle on which that service was rendered; as is manifest from the fact that it is applied indiscriminately to tributaries, to domestics, to all the subjects of governments, to magistrates, to all governmental officers, to younger sons defining their relation to the first born, who is called lord and ruler to prophets, to kings, and to the Messiah.
