Mishpatim: The Revolutionary Trop on "and in the 7th Year"

I want to alleviate whatever anxiety you're having over that unusual truck in the beginning of the para. I know you've been tossing and turning the whole week and you're looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight. So, I'm going to help you out with that because I know you've been thinking what's going on in the beginning of the para. [clears throat] If you will buy a Jewish slave, six years he will work. What it should say is and in the seventh year he goes free. Or it should say but we have this trap which is what we call a where the word end in the seventh year stands on its own. So let me sing it to you in English. If you will buy a Jewish slave, six years he will work. And in the seventh year, he will go free to freedom without any money. Why do we take end in the seventh year and we encapsulate it and we isolate it as a clause by itself? It should say if you And in the seventh year he goes free. Why do we take and in the seventh year and we give it a musical note where the word and in the seventh year stands on its own. So in Lapanski he brings from the bas question a Jewish slave does he work automatic the six years that the Jewish slave works is he working six years in other words let's say he started to work onesh so when rashashana comes does now year two again. No, no, it's six full years. Meaning it doesn't we don't start year two just because rash comes. It's six years from day to day from hour to hour in the next year. How do we know that? says in we read it six years he'll work even in the seventh year meaning even though of the seventh year came so you say oh it's the seventh year no it's not the seventh year he has to work six full years we he'll work six years and sometimes even in the seventh year now obviously he's going free in the seventh year but it's just one perspective of how to read it. Six years he'll work and in the seventh year. So therefore says how does the garam know in that? Why don't you read the stop? Why would you group and in the seventh year together with six years? And the seventh year is the next clause. Now the answer is because the word and in the seventh year doesn't necessarily read into because it's encapsulated with its own. So the reason why is isolated to indicate that there are two ways to read this. Yes, the simple way is however there's another way to read it namely. So therefore we give the words and in the seventh year its own independent trump to show it could be read either way to dar that the i works six complete years. We don't start the next year when rashash shana comes. Okay.
