The morality of this has long been a source of perplexity. The key to understanding it lies in the later law to which it gave rise. When you let a slave go free, commands the Torah, \u201cyou must not send him away empty-handed. You must give to him of your flock, your granary and your wine-vat; you shall give him of all that the Lord your God has blessed you with. And you shall remember that you were once a slave in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you; this is \u00a0why, today, I command you thus\u201d (Deut. 15:13-15). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slavery is an insult to the human condition, and it leaves a legacy of bitterness that itself prevents an ex-slave from being fully free of the past. Freedom involves more than just releasing a slave. It means furnishing him or her with the means to begin an independent life. It also involves tangible recognition of the work he or she did while a slave. Without this \u00a0a slave continues to resent his former owner. With it, they can face one another in mutual dignity and respect. Payment is restitution in the deepest sense of the word, not only financial but also psychological.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excerpted from The Jonathan Sacks
