Interpretation: Jewish law frees a Hebrew servant after six years and tells the master to give gifts when he leaves; this idea of release is tied to the Sabbatical year and to the freedom of Passover. In the primary lessons: Money in maths: an item that costs 0, as in «buy 2, get 1 free»; also free time to fill or count. In science and safety: free from germs, smoke-free. In stories: a trapped animal is freed, a prisoner goes free. Phrases: «for free», «free time», «set free», «free of charge», «feel free to», «sugar-free». ### examples - And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty; (Torah DEU.15.13, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/F/free/#x1) - If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

Trap: «buy 2 get 1 free» gives 3 items for the price of 2. Trap: «free time» is not money. Beware of «free» offers online that ask for your password or a parent's card: real free things do not need them.
