Topical Lexicon

Overview of Usage

עֶבֶד appears roughly eight hundred times and embraces the entire spectrum of service: domestic laborer, bond-slave, court official, subject of a king, worshiper, and foremost, the devoted follower of the LORD. Context decides whether the emphasis is legal status, vocational duty, covenant relationship, or a posture of humble dependence.

Socio-Legal Context of Servitude

• Voluntary Hebrew servitude provided economic relief and ended after six years, or at Jubilee, with liberal provisions for release (Exodus 21:2; Deuteronomy 15:12-15).
• Permanent slavery arose only by conscious choice, sealed with the awl ritual (Exodus 21:5-6).
• Foreign slaves could be held for life, yet still fell under Israel’s humane regulations (Leviticus 25:44-46).
• Abuse of a servant incurred judicial penalties (Exodus 21:20-27).
• Servants shared Sabbath rest (Exodus 20:10) and were included in covenant celebrations such as Passover (Deuteronomy 12:12).
• The purpose clause of these laws is theological: “For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt” (Leviticus 25:55). Redemption from Pharaoh redefined Israel’s identity; they now served Yahweh alone.

Covenant Identity as Servant of the LORD

Scripture frequently sets the vertical relationship above all horizontal ones. Individuals and the nation as a whole are called “My servant” or “Your servant” in covenantal prayer. The title conveys honor, loyalty, and divine commissioning:
• “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham” (Genesis 26:24).
• “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise” (Joshua 1:2).
• “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen” (Isaiah 43:10).

Key Individuals Named “Servant”

Abraham (Genesis 26:24); Moses (Numbers 12:7); Joshua (Judges 2:8); David (2 Samuel 7:5); Job (Job 1:8); prophets such as Isaiah (Isaiah 20:3) and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:4). Their designation marks them as instruments of revelation and redemptive history.

Prophetic and Messianic Servant Passages

The Servant Songs of Isaiah enlarge the concept beyond any single individual:
• Isaiah 42:1-4 – The chosen Servant brings justice to the nations.
• Isaiah 49:6 – “It is too small a thing for You to be My servant to restore the tribes of Jacob… I will also make You a light for the nations.”
• Isaiah 50:4-7 – The obedient, suffering disciple.
• Isaiah 52:13–53:12 – The atoning Servant who bears iniquity: “My righteous Servant will justify many” (53:11).

The New Testament identifies Jesus Christ as the fulfillment (Matthew 12:17-21; Acts 3:13, 26), thereby affirming continuity between Old and New Covenant servanthood.

Servant Language in Worship and Prayer

Personal petitions often begin with self-designation as “Your servant,” expressing humility and trust:
• “Keep Your servant also from willful sins” (Psalm 19:13).
• “Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word” (Psalm 119:17).
• “Behold, I am the servant of the LORD; may it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38, Greek counterpart), echoing Old Testament piety.

Servanthood and Redemption

The Exodus paradigm frames salvation as a transfer of ownership. Having been freed from a harsh master, Israel joyfully embraces service to a benevolent Redeemer (Exodus 3:12; Deuteronomy 6:12-13). This anticipates the gospel call: “You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men” (1 Corinthians 7:23).

Servant in Royal and Administrative Contexts

עֶבֶד can denote high-ranking officials:
• “All the servants of Pharaoh” who accompanied Joseph (Genesis 50:7).
• David’s military and civil corps (2 Samuel 2:29).
• Naaman, “captain of the army of the king of Aram,” candidly calls himself “your servant” before Elisha (2 Kings 5:15).

Here the term signals allegiance rather than low social rank.

Implications for Ministry and Discipleship

1. Authority flows from servanthood; leaders are first bond-servants of God (Joshua 24:29; Titus 1:1).
2. Service to others is grounded in prior service to the LORD (Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Mark 10:45).
3. The pattern of the suffering Servant shapes Christian endurance and mission (1 Peter 2:21-25).

Representative Occurrences

Genesis 24:2 – Abraham’s chief servant entrusted with covenant succession.

Exodus 14:31 – The people “feared the LORD and believed in His servant Moses.”

1 Samuel 25:41 – Abigail’s humility: “Your servant is ready to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

2 Kings 22:12 – Royal envoys described as servants in covenant renewal.

Psalm 105:42 – “For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.”

Jeremiah 46:27-28 – Restoration promised to “Jacob My servant.”

Daniel 9:17 – “O our God, hear the prayer of Your servant.”

δοῦλος (Strong’s Greek 1401) – New Testament counterpart, continuing the theological trajectory of devoted servanthood under the supreme Lordship of Christ.
