Strona 291 - You have among you many a purchas'd slave, Which, like your asses, and your dogs, and mules, You use in abject and in slavish parts , Because you bought them : — shall I say to you , Let them be free ; marry them to your heirs?

Strona 174 - Behold the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we : Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
