ExplanationCommentary
Verse 2. Servant, or slave. A man might sell himself and his children. But if they were females, under age, God prescribes how they are to be treated, verse 7.—Six years: in case he were brought immediately after the expiration of the Sabbatic law: none could be detained for a longer period. If a person lost his liberty in the fourth year after the general release, he would recover it in the space of two or three years at latest. Bible. Bonfrere.
