Will he consent to be one of thy domesticated animals, and serve thee?<\/p>\n Will he make a covenant with thee? – <\/B>That is, will he submit himself to thee, and enter into a compact to serve thee? Such a compact was made by those who agreed to serve another; and the idea here is, that the animal here referred to could not be reduced to such service – that is, could not be tamed.<\/P> Wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? – <\/B>Canst thou so subdue him that he will be a perpetual slave? The meaning of all this is, that he was an untamable animal, and could not be reduced, as many others could, to domestic use.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 4<\/span>.

Is not this an allusion to the law, Ex 21:1-6<\/span>?<\/P> <\/p>\n A covenant, <\/B>to wit, to do thee faithful service, as the next words explain it.

The phrase means literally, “cut a covenant,” and reappears in the Greek and the Latin, and apparently springs from a like primeval custom common to them all. <\/p>\n A servant for ever <\/strong> Will he, as a consideration for sparing his life, enter into a covenant of perpetual service? On the hypothesis that this book was written subsequently to the Mosaic economy, there may be in the phrase “servant for ever,” an allusion to the mode by which Israelitish servants covenanted to serve for ever.
