This week’s reading, This week’s reading,
\nShemot \/ Exodus 21:3-22:3<\/em><\/font>, discusses how a man is to treat his slaves if he is a slave
\nowner. <\/font>The Scriptures detail selling one’s self, selling one’s daughter,
\nand treating slaves fairly. <\/font>Shemot \/ Exodus<\/em><\/font>
\nstates that 21:7 ‘If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do. 21:8 ‘If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He does not have authority to sell her to a foreign people because of his unfairness to her. 21:9 ‘If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. 21:10 ‘If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. 21:11 ‘If he will not do these three things for her, then she shall go out for nothing, without payment of oney. (NASB)<\/em><\/font>
\n <\/font>Attitudes have changed over the centuries toward slavery but regardless of whether slavery was approved of or disapproved of, God needed to instruct how to treat slaves in a humane way and with respect. <\/font>Today, it is unthinkable that one could even bring one’s self to sell his own daughter into slavery being a product of his flesh and bone. <\/font>The fact that this existed is not contested because there are instances
\nwhere in the Scriptures a man has sold himself into slavery because of a great amount of debt.
\n<\/font>This week I want to look at how yielding ourselves to sin, draws a parallel to what we are reading here on slavery from this week’s Scripture portion? <\/font>I believe that yielding ourselves to sin after we are redeemed by the blood of Yeshua, we are essentially selling ourselves back into slavery by the work of sin. <\/font><\/font>Read More here.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
