Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - Compliance is enforced by the consideration that the Israelites had been themselves bondmen in Egypt, and had been redeemed out of that bondage by God (cf. Deuteronomy 5:15; Deuteronomy 10:19; Deuteronomy 16:12; Deuteronomy 24:18, 22; Exodus 22:20; Exodus 23:9; Leviticus 19:34). As God had dealt by them, so it behooved them to deal by others in like condition and need.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt.--"And that I furnished and adorned thee from the spoils of Egypt and the spoils of the sea" (Rashi).Therefore I command thee�--In Leviticus 25:42 the reason is given thus: "They are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen" (i.e., not for ever). The land was under the same restriction--it "shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine" (Leviticus 25:16-17; Leviticus 25:23.
