申命记15:12~23
奴婢的条例
12“你弟兄中，若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人卖给你，已服事你六年，到了第七年就要让他自由离开你。
12“你弟兄中，若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人卖给你，已服事你六年，到了第七年就要让他自由离开你。
13你让他自由离开的时候，不可让他空手而去，
14要从你的羊群、禾场、压酒池中取一些，慷慨地送给他；耶和华–你的神怎样赐福给你，你也要照样给他。
15*要记得你在埃及地作过奴仆，耶和华–你的神救赎了你。为此，我今日将这事吩咐你。
16他若对你说:‘我不愿意离开你，因为他爱你和你的家， 并且他在你那里很好，
17你要*拿锥子在门上穿透他的耳朵，他就永远成为你的奴仆了。你待婢女也要这样。
18你让他从你那里自由离开的时候，不要看作困难，因为他已服事你六年，相当于雇工双倍的工钱。这样，耶和华–你的神必在你所做的一切事上.赐福给你。”
头生牛羊的条例
19“你牛群羊群中头生的，凡是公的， 都要分别为圣，归给耶和华–你的神。头生的牛，不可用它来耕作；头生的羊，不可剪它的毛。

19“你牛群羊群中头生的，凡是公的， 都要分别为圣，归给耶和华–你的神。头生的牛，不可用它来耕作；头生的羊，不可剪它的毛。
20这头生的，你和你全家每年要到耶和华所选择的地方，在耶和华–你神面前吃。
21这头生的若有残疾，瘸腿的或瞎眼的，若有任何严重缺陷，都不可献给耶和华-你的神。
22你们可以在城里吃，洁净的人和不洁净的人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊和鹿一样。
23只是它的血，你不可吃， 要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。”
12-15 If a Hebrew man or Hebrew woman 6 5G.l 77%
was sold to you and has served you for six
years, in the seventh year you must set him or her free, released into a free life. And when you set them free don’t send them off empty-handed. Provide them with some animals, plenty of bread and wine and oil Load them with provisions from all the blessings with which GOD, your God, has blessed you. Don’t for a minute forget that you were once slaves in Egypt and GOD your God, redeemed you from that slave world.
For that reason, this day I command you to do this.
16-17 But if your slave, because he loves you and your family and has a good life with you, says,”I don’t want to leave you,” then take an awl and pierce through his earlobe into the doorpost, marking him as your slave forever. Do the same with your women slaves who want to stay with you.
18 Don’t consider this an unreasonable hardship, this setting your slave free. After all, he’s worked six years for you at half the cost of a hired hand.
Believe me, GOD, your God, will bless you in everything you do.
19-23 Consecrate to GOD, your God, all the firstborn males in your herds and flocks. Don’t use the firstborn from your herds as work animals; don’t shear the firstborn from your flocks. These are for you to eat every year, you and your family, in the Presence of GOD, your God, at the place that GOD des-ignates for worship. If the animal is defec-tive, lame, say, or blind-anything wrong with it-don’t slaughter it as a sacrifice to GOD, your God. Stay at home and eat it there. Both the ritually clean and unclean may eat it, the same as with a gazelle or a deer. Only you must not eat its blood. Pour the blood out on the ground like water.

内容观察
1.摩西说，要如何对待欠债被卖为奴隶的希伯来人？(12~13节)
2.倘若仆人想留在主人家里，主人会如何对待他？(16~17节)
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.你是否关心社会中较处于弱势的人或群体？若要能够对他们有多一点的付出和关心，你认为可以怎么做？
拿锥子在门上刺透他的耳朵(17节):当时在身体某部位作标记，有顺从或归属之意，但有学者认为标记代表不只是仆人要忠于主人，也代表主人要负责照顾仆人一辈子。
