bond´sûr -vant : Appears only once in the King James Version (Leviticus 25:39 ) where it translates עבד , ‛ebhedh , "a slave": "Thou shalt not cause him to render the service of a bondservant" or slave. the Revised Version (British and American) frequently uses bondservant (δοῦλος , doúlos ) instead of the word "servant" of the King James Version (John 8:34 , John 8:35; 1 Corinthians 7:21; Galatians 4:7 ). See SLAVERY .
