And the servant is free from his Master.
The servant.] There are two sorts of servants. There are some who are voluntary servants, and others who are servants by constraint. There are some who might be free, but they will not, and there are others, who would be free but they cannot. Of the former sort we read a Law, Exod. 21.5. where the servant that loved his master and refused his freedom saying, I will not go out free, must be brought before the Judges and have his ear bored through with an awl, in token of his willingness to serve that Master for ever. Others are servants by constraint, as the people of Israel in Egypt, who were made to serve with rigour, Exod. 1.14. to serve whether they would or no, which is servitude rather then service.
