A Broken Agreement with Hebrew Servants
8 This is[a] this message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem proclaiming release for them. 9 Each person was to set free his male and female slaves who were Hebrews, so that no Jewish person would enslave his brother.[b] 10 All the officials and all the people who had entered into the covenant agreed[c] that each would set his male and female slaves free so that they[d] would not enslave them any longer. They obeyed and they released them.
