BIBLICAL EXEGISIS WITH A NOTED SCHOLAR. "After you commented to me and challenged the point about the equality of the slave and handmaiden," Ben-Gurion tells Gvarahu, "I reread the chapter dealing with this matter, and I see that it is open to different interpretations, and therefore I erased the lines on page 8...beginning with the words 'And when a man sets his slave or handmaiden free in the seventh year'...I am sorry I cannot participate today in the conference...And it is good that it is being held in Jerusalem...Conferences should be held in different places throughout the country - but it is fitting that the annual conference of the Society be held in Jerusalem." Gvaryahu was chairman of the World Jewish Bible Society.
