King Zedekiah’s covenant to proclaim liberty, and the servants let go free and brought back into subjection

시드기야왕의 자유 선언 언약과, 방백들과 백성이 놓았던 노비를 다시 노비로 삼은 일

Jeremiah 34:8–11: the text says, “The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them, that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother. All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go, but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.” The Korean Revised Version gives the covenant as a sentence of its own at 34:9 (그 언약은 곧 …, that covenant was this), where WEB goes on from 34:8 (“that every man should let his male servant …”).
