Save . etc. or , To the end that there be no poor among you , Houbigant follows this marginal reading , to which he joins the end of the Deuteronomy 15 . 3 , considering it as explanatory of the law; as if he had said , "Thou shalt not exact the debt that is due from thy brother , but thy hand shall release him , for this reason , that there may be no poor among you through your severity." He justly contends that the phrase ephes kee , can here only mean , "to the end that ," being equivalent to the French afin que.

the poor .

This is a most humane and merciful addition to the law inExodus 21 . 2-11 , enforced upon the Israelites by the consideration of their Egyptian bondage. As a faithful servant has made no property for himself while honestly serving his master , so now , when he quits his service , he has nothing to begin the world with except what the kindness of his master may bestow upon him as a remuneration for his zeal and fidelity. Though what was to be bestowed upon servants is not fixed , yet they were to be liberally supplied . Deuteronomy 15 . 14.

the roebuck . Tzevee , in Arabic zaby , Chaldee and Syriac tavya , denotes the gazelle or antelope , so called from its stately beauty , as the word imports. In size it is smaller than the roe , of an elegant form , and it motions are light and graceful. It bounds seemingly without effort , and runs with such swiftness that few creatures can exceed it . 2 Samuel 2 . 18. Its fine eyes are so much celebrated as even to become a proverb; and its flesh is much esteemed for food among eastern nations , having a sweet , musky taste , which is highly agreeable to their palates . 1 Kings 4 . 23. If to these circumstances we add , that they are gregarious , and common all over the East , whereas the roe is either not known at all , or else very rare in these countries , little doubt can remain that the gazelle and not the roe is intended by the original word.
