신명기 6:12 해설: Rashi, Chizkuni, Ibn Ezra & Sforno

מבית עבדים — Understand this as the Targum does: from the house of slavery, i.e. a place where ye were slaves (not from the house that belonged to slaves; cf. Rashi on Exodus 20:2).

מבית עבדים, “out of the house of bondage.” Rashi comments on this unusual phrase [surely the Israelites had not only been liberated from a house, Ed.] that the word “house” here is to be understood as “any place containing Israelites as slaves.” If you were to point out that in Exodus 20,2 where the expression מבית עבדים occurs again, Rashi comments that while in Egypt the Jews were slaves of Pharaoh, not of every Egyptian householder. Or perhaps they were the slaves of ordinary Egyptians who were themselves slaves of Pharaoh. And then again, in Deuteronomy 7.8 we read, “He redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” This means that even though they were slaves of Pharaoh He redeemed them.

the house of bondage There, your cities and houses were not so well-stocked.
