years of servitude depends on who the seller is. A gentile slave bought from a Jew serves six years (this verse),
“His (God’s) voice is as the sound of many waters.” 80 ,ó−ÌaÔþóÌ−Ôô ñBšÐk BñBšÐî
whereas one bought from a gentile, serves forever (the verse in Vayikra). This explanation is proved false by what
now follows. 13 Devarim 15, 12. 14 Hence, when the Torah tells us in Vayikra that a gentile slave serves forever, But who is it that gave sound to water if not He! ?êeí êÖlÓêóÌ−ÔnÔñ ñBš öÔ³Öò−Ìô−Ì×Ðî
it does not matter who his previous owner was. 15 Mechilta. 16 Below, 22, 2. And the money paid for him is
used to reimburse his victim. 17 And maybe only in such a case does he go free after six years. 18 And he would 76 I.e., the past tense of the masculine third-person singular. 77 I.e., in most places. 78 Devarim 4, 11. 79 Hoshea
