Episode 120 - Slaves or Servants
Episode Summary
The Podcast deals with the fact that in both Hebrew and Greek the word for “slave” is the same as the word for “servant.” Only context allows a translator to know which to choose. In this instance, Israel is rescued by God from slavery to the Egyptians. But their rescue is so that they may subsequently “serve” the God who saved them. Their response to God’s grace was articulated in the Mosaic Covenant given at Sinai. In effect, Israel had the choice to be a slave to Egypt or a servant of God.
