S
BEST. BAND NAME. EVAR.
"Give it up, for the first time ever in the Saucelito Civic Center, the most rockinest Christian garage band of the past four hours: BURNING JELLO!!!!"
*seven people go wild*
You're speaking about a bondservant. The Jews were required to release their slaves on the Sabbath year ('Year of Jubilee'), but if a slave was well treated by their master, they could choose to remain in servitude for life, as kind of both servant and member of the family, becoming a bondservant. The master and slave would go to the city gates (kind of like the town square in Jewish cities), and the slave would declare their allegiance to the master's family. Then the men of the city would accompany (as witnesses) the slave and master to the master's home, where the master would take an awl, and pin the slave to the doorpost of the master's house, representing the slave being joined to the house. After a designated span of time, the awl was removed, the slave unpinned, and a hoop placed in the pierced ear to designate the bondservant's status within the home. This is specifically the master/slave relationship Paul speaks of whenever he uses the term bondservant in his epistles.
Praise God indeed! Ain't He good?
How do I get in on this Skype action? Do I need to PM one of you guys my name?
