📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of King Zedekiah, the kingdom of Judah was facing a devastating siege by the Babylonian army, prompting the people to make a covenant to free their Hebrew slaves as commanded in God's law from the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. This act of liberation was likely a desperate bid for divine favor during the crisis, but once the Babylonian forces temporarily withdrew, the people broke their promise and re-enslaved those they had freed. This betrayal highlighted the widespread unfaithfulness and hypocrisy among the leaders and citizens of Judah.
