The real question, then, is, what idea is intended to be conveyed by the words used in the commandment quoted ? And it is clear to my mind that as no limitation is affixed to them, and the express intention was to secure to mankind the peacefiil enjoyment of every species of property, the terms "Men servants and Maid servants" in- clude all classes of servants, and establish a lawful, ex- clusive and indefeasible interest equally in the "He- brew Brother who shall go out in the seventh year " a...nd " the yearly hired servant," and those " purchased from the Heathen round about," and were to be " Bond- men forever," cm the property of their fellow mem.
You cannot deny that there were among the He- brews " Bond-men forever." You cannot deny that God especially authorized his chosen people to purchase 128 "Bond-men forever'' from the Heathen, as recorded in the 25th Chop, of Leviticus^ and that they are there designated by the very Hebrew word used in the Tenth commandment. Nor can you deny that a '^ Bokd-man Forever" is a " Slave ;" yet you endeavor to hang an argument of immortal consequence upon the wretched subterfuge, that the precise word ** slave ^ is not to be found in the translation of the Bible ; as if the Trans- latoi's were canonical expounders of the Holy Scrip- tures, and their words^ not God^a meaning^ must be re- garded as His Revelation.
