Hi everyone, this is Erica Kirk, and I just want to share that this episode has been recorded by one of our Bible and 365 team members due to a post-production glitch in a previous version, and so that's why we've had to start fresh. We've refreshed it to ensure it aligns with the Bible and 365 standard of clarity and excellence, and we are blessed to have you a part of the Bible

and 365 family now let's dive into the word exodus chapter 21 laws about slaves now these are the

rules that you shall set before them when you buy a Hebrew slave he shall serve six, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

If he comes in single, he shall go out single. If he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.

If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out alone.

if he takes another wife to himself he shall not diminish her food her clothing or her marital

Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.

But if he did not lie and wait for him but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.

But if a man willfully attacks another to kill him by cunning, you shall take him from my

altar that he may die. Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.

Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him shall be put to death.

Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death.

When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does
