And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
Si un amo golpea a su siervo o sierva en el ojo y se lo daña, debe dejarlo libre como compensación por el ojo.
Un amo que daña el ojo de su siervo debe liberarlo como compensación.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of ancient Israel, the laws in Exodus were given to the newly freed Israelites as part of the Covenant Code, providing guidelines for a just society amid a culture where slavery was common due to debt or conquest. This specific verse addresses the treatment of servants, requiring their release if a master caused permanent injury like the loss of an eye, which reflected God's concern for protecting the vulnerable in a world where human rights were often overlooked. It stood as a progressive step compared to other ancient legal codes by emphasizing limits on cruelty and the inherent value of every person.
