Leviticus Bondmen Disclosure Record

PROBLEM: Leviticus 25:44–46 KJV ("...they shall be your bondmen for ever...") was cited by Harris (1788) and Stringfellow (1841) to defend perpetual slavery, and is still the verse modern apologists quote — commentators in 2026 note Douglas Wilson and others invoking it. The same chapter's Jubilee (Lev 25:10, liberty proclaimed, every man returned to his possession) and Deut 23:15–16 (forbidding the return of an escaped servant) were not quoted by the same writers.

SOLUTION: A disclosure record: the Lev 25:44–46 passage in full, its documented pro-slavery and modern citations, and the companion passages from the same law that were omitted — so the selective reading is visible.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Lev 25:44–46 KJV; Harris (1788); Stringfellow (1841). Modern citation by Wilson and others is REPORTED (2026 commentary) and labeled as such.
