Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 47-55. - Rules are laid down for the case of an Israelite who has sold himself for a slave to a non-Israelite. In this case he is not set free at the end of six years, as he would be if his master were a countryman, but in other respects his treatment is to be like that of the man with an Israelite master. He may be redeemed by the value of his work down to the jubilee being paid by himself or his kinsman; he is to be set free when the jubilee comes at any rate; he is to be treated kindly while continuing in his master's service, and his countrymen are to see that no over-severity is used.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee.--Better, And if the hand of a stranger, and that a sojourner, attain riches by thee, that is, a stranger who has become a sojourner, or who has taken up his abode among the Israelites, and become prosperous by trading. Such a one had only to submit to the seven commandments given to Noah, and hence had not joined the Jewish religion. For this reason the Chaldee Version translates it, "And if the hand of an uncircumcised sojourner with thee wax strong."And thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor.--Better, and thy brother by him wax poor, that is, the Israelite who traded with him is unfortunate in business, and is reduced to poverty.And sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee.--Better, and sells himself unto the stranger-sojourner by thee. The two terms as before describe the same person--the stranger who has become a sojourner. Hence the Chaldee Version translates it, "and sells himself to the uncircumcised stranger who is with thee."Or to the stock of the stranger's family.--That is, the offshoot or descendant of a foreign family.
