Jeremiah 34 · Grade 3

Freedom Taken Back

Name Date

Read the Story

King Zedekiah made a covenant with the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty. Everyone was to let his Hebrew servants go free. The princes and the people obeyed and let them go.

This was what God's law said. At the end of seven years, every man should release his brother who had served him six years. For a while the people did what was right in God's eyes.

But afterward they turned and forced the servants to come back. God said they had profaned his name. They had made a promise before him in his house and then broken it. God does not want people to treat others unfairly.

Memory Verse

“At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.”

Jeremiah 34:14 (WEB)
