18 Du skall icke tycka det vara hårt att du måste släppa din tjänare fri ur din tjänst; i sex år har han ju berett dig dubbelt så stor förmån som någon avlönad legodräng. Så skall Herren, din Gud, välsigna dig i allt vad du gör.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 18. It shall not seem hard, however, to the internal man when these exterior principles are entirely removed from the soul; for they have performed their service for the spiritual man in conjoining to him interior things during the states of temptation-combat; and the Divine Love and Wisdom will be more closely united to the soul in its future progress. [Note (verses 12-18).—There is to be no waste in the kingdom of the Lord; nothing is to be despised because it is of less use than other things; but everything is to be judiciously used with care and prudence according to its usefulness.]
