*
Thus saith the LORD ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondmen ,
saying ,
*
At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew ,
which hath been sold unto thee ;
and when he hath served thee six years ,
thou shalt let him go free from thee :
but your fathers hearkened not unto me ,
neither inclined their ear .
*
And ye were now turned ,
and had done right in my sight ,
in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour ;
and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name :
*
But ye turned and polluted my name ,
and caused every man his servant ,
and every man his handmaid ,
whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure ,
to return ,
and brought them into subjection ,
to be unto you for servants and for handmaids .
