This is one of those texts that makes the hair stand up on the back of modern culture’s neck. The problem is, people (both secular and churched) have only heard one line, out of context, from Exodus 21:7, and then go right to arguing against the law of Yahweh in some way. This lesson aims to transport our minds back to ancient near-eastern culture and the context of the Hebrew Bible, and see just how perfect Yahweh’s law continues to be. It may surprise you to hear about a modern parallel of sorts to this law. If you aren’t afraid to learn, take a listen.
