What Do You Learn from the Laws of the Hebrew Slave?

The eved Ivri should correctly be called eved Yisraeli, for in the language of the Jews the word Ivri is never used except when speaking to non-Jews. But the Israelite bondsman is called by the name that the Egyptians called our fathers in Egypt. Thus the eved Ivri is used by the Torah to commemorate the bondage of Israel in Egypt, and the Torah treatment of the “Hebrew slave” is a parallel demonstration of Hashem’s Compassion upon His people in Egypt. — A Nation is Born
