Tze'enah Ure'enah
“In the seventh year” [34:14]. When the seventh year comes, each person should set his male and female slaves free. Your ancestors did not observe this for very long and did not listen to Me. Afterwards, they listened to My words and observed them, and they again made a covenant that each one will free his slaves. Now they have profaned My holy name by taking back their slaves that they had set free. Therefore, God said: because you did not want to free your male and female slaves, I will set you free among the nations, to the sword, to pestilence, and hunger. You will be abandoned to the kings.
