If I have refused the plea of my male servant or my female servant when they complained against me,
then what should I do when Ěl rises up? And when He punishes, what should I answer Him?
‘Do not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your Elohim.
‘And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession, they are your slaves for all time. But over your brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl, you do not rule with harshness, one over another.
And, masters, do the same to them, refrain from threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in the heavens, and there is no partiality with Him.
Masters, give your servants what is righteous and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.
