What does the Bible say about servanthood in Exodus?

Answered in 1 source

Exodus 21 outlines the laws concerning Hebrew servanthood, emphasizing the importance of love and commitment between the servant and master.

Exodus 21:1-6 establishes the legal framework for Hebrew servanthood, demonstrating that a servant, or slave, would serve for six years and be set free in the seventh year. However, if the servant loved his master and chose to remain, he would undergo a symbolic piercing of the ear, signifying his lifelong commitment. This reflects not only the personal relationships within the community but also serves as a metaphor for the relationship between Christ, as the Servant of God, and His people, demonstrating how true servanthood is rooted in love, choice, and commitment.
