| Exodus 21:32 | If he assault a bond-man or a bond-woman, he shall give thirty sicles of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned. | Bond-man, etc., of any of those uncircumcised nations, (Jonathan) whom it was lawful to put to death; and hence their life was esteemed of less value. (Haydock) --- Sicles. Septuagint, "didrachmas." This was the price of a slave, for which our Saviour was sold: that of a free-man was double. (Calmet) |
