Summary

Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

We cannot suppose that this law required the israelites to entertain slaves who had robbed their masters, or left their service without cause; but such only as were cruelly treated, and fled to them for protection, especially from the neighbouring nations
