DEUTERONOMY 23:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:”
You shall not hand over to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you — the slave who flees to Israel finds asylum and protection, reversing the dynamics of power. This law protects the vulnerable and asserts Israel's moral obligation to those seeking refuge, likely reflecting memory of Israel's own bondage.
