Deuteronomy 15:18

It shall not seem hard unto you, when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant to you, in serving you six years: and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do.

Verse 17 Read Chapter 15 Verse 19

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Hireling. His freedom is due to him, as much as wages are due to the hireling. He is alse entitled to a decent provision, for which he has laboured. Hebrew, "he hath been worth twice as much to thee as a hired servant "by his greater diligence, labour, and fidelity. Servitude has also rendered his worth doubly severe. (Calmet)
