AMPLIFIED 2015 | Leviticus 25:44 'As for your male and female slaves whom you may have--you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you. |
Bible Question: I am trying to understand this verse. Does this place slavery inside the will of God? Lev 25 starts with "And God spoke to Moses saying...", eventually arriving at "...you may aquire slaves..." I have meditated on this verse trying to understand, did God condone slavery for any purpose? Can anyone offer insight? |
Bible Answer: Of course, slavery is rampant in the bible and so is the freeing of captives...my belief, is that there are captives or servants made free to show the grace or mercy of God...what does the Truth do? The Truth sets you free...the bible or Jesus is the Truth...Everything God does, mostly, is for His namesake...to show His Power and His Glory...any hardship he places on us, like when He hardened Pharoah's heart, is for the purpose of saving us so that we can believe Him and worship Him...there has to be darkness so that the light can shine...get it!? |
