[QUOTE="MishSill, post: 68110091, member: 377689"] Thanks for showing me that :) On your first point, I'm thinking to use Strongs Concordance. So I will requote the scripture and lay out the concordance which has the hebrew translations. I'll do that on a separate reply. I'm an avid NKJ Bible reader myself for that very reason. I'll be honest in my research. I'm not sure if Strongs is online. I've got it in print. Idol worship is very much in line with witchcraft. In fact it is the very essence of witchcraft. Idolatory to this day is quite a severe thing on any society. A lot people don't realise the spiritual forces at work behind it. So I wouldn't say it wasn't a concern to God. On the contrary, Idolatory was so powerful it could permeate into the Israelite society, as indeed it had when the tribes were out in the wilderness. When Moses was on the mountain receiving the ten commandments. So the real question to ask here is what would prompt a master to chastise his slave. Would you agree that is a reasonable starting point. We would also have to do some historical research to find out if chains or restraints were indeed used. But once again, these people had no place to flee to. They had nothing in the desert. God rained down mana for food. He cracked a rock to provide water. That was the scenario I put to you... no resources. I'm not aware at all that they had plundered the Egyptians. They were slaves in Egypt. Conditions of slavery were rather different in Egypt. Do you think we are free?... can you really do anything you want to in the world. Some countries might allow you to visit only as a tourist but not hold land. Other silly countries like mine let foreigners buy all our land so we can't afford it ourselves. If I went to certain countries I would be forced to submit to males and cover my face. These days if you are not allowed to buy property in a foreign country you would have to rent to live there. In our time you pay money for use of the property. There was no money back then so all you could do was barter, and in that case, barter your services for food and shelter. It makes sense for the conditions of that time. To sum up I think we could do some research on the Deuteronomy scripture and historical research on the treatment of slaves/servants. [/QUOTE]
