Context of Deuteronomy 15:14

12Whenever Hebrew men or women are sold to you as slaves, they will be your slaves for six years. In the seventh year you must let them go free. 13But when you let them go, don’t send them away empty-handed. Generously give them provisions—sheep from your flocks, grain from your threshing floor, and wine from your winepress. Be as generous to them as the Lord your God has been to you. 15Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God freed you. That’s why I’m giving you this command today. 16But suppose a male slave says to you, “I don’t want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is happy with you.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1513-15. thou shalt not let him go away empty--A seasonable and wise provision for enabling a poor unfortunate to regain his original status in society, and the motive urged for his kindness and humanity to the Hebrew slave was the remembrance that the whole nation was once a degraded and persecuted band of helots in Egypt.
