  2. Justice and mercy, the identity twins

    There is an interesting story in the Old Testament that involves a lender and a borrower. An audit was made, and the books didn&rsquo;t balance. The borrower was called to account, and he pleaded poverty. The lender, not satisfied, held a legal advantage and so ordered the man to be sold &hellip; yes, into slavery. He then added that the man&rsquo;s wife was to be sold. The lady, probably not involved, was drawn into the morass by being the wife of one who borrowed unwisely. The final thrust of the lender was to also mandate that the couple&rsquo;s children also would be sold and separated from parents and each other.
