What does the Bible say about the servant in Exodus 21?

Answered in 1 source

Exodus 21 outlines the rules regarding Hebrew servants, highlighting their temporary servitude and the option for permanent service based on love for their master.

In Exodus 21:1-6, God provides laws concerning Hebrew servants, emphasizing that they shall serve for six years and be released in the seventh year without payment. If a servant expresses love for his master and chooses to remain, he undergoes a symbolic act of commitment—having his ear pierced, symbolizing his willing, lifelong servitude. This reflects the deeper biblical truth that servitude to God is based on love and commitment, much like the relationship between Christ and His followers.
