How preachers through history handled this text
10 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 21, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use, for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we must be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 21:22–36 (Public Domain)
