This term is frequently encountered in the context of ancient Israelite society and the broader ancient Near Eastern culture, where slavery was a recognized institution. The concept of a bondman is addressed in various passages throughout the Bible, providing insight into the social, economic, and spiritual dimensions of servitude. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "bondman" is עֶבֶד (eved), which can mean servant, slave, or bondman. The Mosaic Law provided specific regulations regarding the treatment of bondmen, reflecting a concern for justice and compassion even within the institution of slavery. For instance, <a href="/exodus/21-2.htm">Exodus 21:2-6</a> outlines the conditions under which a Hebrew bondman could serve and be released: "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he shall go free, without paying anything" . This provision ensured that servitude among the Israelites was not perpetual and allowed for the restoration of personal freedom. The treatment of foreign bondmen was also addressed, with <a href="/leviticus/25-44.htm">Leviticus 25:44-46</a> permitting the Israelites to acquire bondmen from the nations around them. However, the Israelites were reminded of their own history as bondmen in Egypt, which served as a moral imperative to treat their servants with dignity and fairness (<a href="/deuteronomy/15-15.htm">Deuteronomy 15:15</a>). New Testament Context In the New Testament, the Greek term δοῦλος (doulos) is often translated as "bondman" or "servant." The New Testament writers used this term to describe both literal and metaphorical servitude. For example, in the parables of Jesus, bondmen are frequently depicted as servants of a master, illustrating principles of faithfulness and accountability (e.g., <a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>). The Apostle Paul frequently referred to himself as a "bondman of Christ," emphasizing his total devotion and submission to the will of God (<a href="/romans/1.htm">Romans 1:1</a>, <a href="/philippians/1.htm">Philippians 1:1</a>). This metaphorical use of "bondman" highlights the Christian understanding of spiritual servitude, where believers are called to serve Christ wholeheartedly. Paul also addressed the social realities of slavery in his epistles, urging Christian bondmen to serve their earthly masters with sincerity and integrity, as serving the Lord (<a href="/ephesians/6-5.htm">Ephesians 6:5-8</a>, <a href="/colossians/3-22.htm">Colossians 3:22-24</a>). At the same time, he encouraged masters to treat their bondmen with justice and fairness, recognizing their mutual accountability to God (<a href="/ephesians/6-9.htm">Ephesians 6:9</a>, <a href="/colossians/4.htm">Colossians 4:1</a>). Spiritual Implications The concept of a bondman in the Bible carries profound spiritual implications. It serves as a reminder of humanity's natural state of bondage to sin and the liberating power of Christ's redemptive work. In <a href="/romans/6-17.htm">Romans 6:17-18</a>, Paul writes, "But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness" . This transformation from bondage to sin to servitude to righteousness encapsulates the essence of the Christian gospel. The biblical portrayal of bondmen, both literal and metaphorical, underscores themes of redemption, justice, and the call to serve God and others with humility and love. Through the lens of Scripture, the role of a bondman is not merely a social or economic status but a profound spiritual identity that reflects one's relationship with God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It refers to the ordinary slave, either foreign (<a href="/genesis/43-18.htm">Genesis 43:18</a>; <a href="/genesis/44-9.htm">Genesis 44:9, 33</a> <a href="/leviticus/25-44.htm">Leviticus 25:44, 46</a>) or Hebrew (<a href="/leviticus/25-42.htm">Leviticus 25:42</a> <a href="/2_kings/4-1.htm">2 Kings 4:1</a>). Hebrews were forbidden to enslave Hebrews, but did it nevertheless. It also refers to the Israelites in the bondage of Egypt (<a href="/deuteronomy/15-15.htm">Deuteronomy 15:15</a>, and often), and in the exile of Babylonia (<a href="/ezra/9-9.htm">Ezra 9:9</a>). The intended treatment of the men of Judah in Samaria (<a href="/2_chronicles/28-10.htm">2 Chronicles 28:10</a>) was apparently to sell them into ordinary slavery or bondage. The word is used once in the New Testament (<a href="/revelation/6-15.htm">Revelation 6:15</a>) to translate doulos, where it evidently means a slave in contrast with a freeman.
