[1] A Jew can’t sell him as a slave for more than 50 years.[2]) Worst is the following situation described in Leviticus (Behar) chapter 25 verse 47: ‫ְוִכי ַתִּׂשיג ַיד ֵּגר ְותֹוָׁשב ִעָּמְך ּוָמְך ָאִחיָך ִעּמֹו ְוִנְמַּכר ְלֵגר ּתֹוָׁשב ִעָּמְך אֹו ְלֵעֶקר ִמְׁשַּפַחת ֵּג‬ If a resident non-Jew gains wealth with you, and your brother becomes destitute with him and is sold to a resident non-Jew among you or to an idol of the family of a non-Jew. ‫ אֹו ֹדדֹו אֹו ֶבן ֹּדדֹו ִיְגָאֶלּנּו אֹו ִמְּׁשֵאר‬:‫ַאֲחֵרי ִנְמַּכר ְּגֻאָּלה ִּתְהֶיה ּלֹו ֶאָחד ֵמֶאָחיו ִיְגָאֶלּנּו‬ https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/item/4250/essay-behar-the-first-manual-for-addicts 1/8 5/19/24, 6:25 PM The First Manual for Addicts After he is sold, he shall have redemption; one of his brothers shall redeem him. :‫ְוִאם ֹלא ִיָּגֵאל ְּבֵאֶּלה ְוָיָצא ִּבְׁשַנת ַהֹּיֵבל הּוא ּוָבָניו ִעּמֹו‬ And if he is not redeemed through [any of] these [ways], he shall go out in the Jubilee year, he and his children with him.[4] In other words, according to Torah law, the Jewish slave can never sell himself for eternity. Among other items it discusses a regression in poverty: a person becomes so desperate that he is forced to sell his ancestral field or farm in the land of Israel; worse, a person is compelled to sell a home used for work in the fields; worse, the situation grows so difficult, a person is forced to sell his residential home. In this case, he did not only sell himself to another Jew, where at least the culture and lifestyle are similar; but he sold himself as a slave to a non-Jew, where the entire lifestyle is different.[3] The Torah then goes on to command his next of kin to redeem him from his master, by compensating the master for the money he paid to purchase the Jew and thus setting the slave free. And yet, in reality, he is mentioned as the last option: After mentioning all the relatives, the Torah concludes “if he becomes able to afford it, he can be redeemed [through his own funds].” [8] The Disease https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/item/4250/essay-behar-the-first-manual-for-addicts 2/8 5/19/24, 6:25 PM The First Manual for Addicts Each law in the Torah, even those not
