Leviticus 25:39 prohibits making a fellow Israelite a slave — the master's command to sell the debtor and family contrasts with this law's protection.

2 Kings 4:1 shows a creditor taking children as slaves for debt — the same practice of selling family into slavery seen here.

Nehemiah 5:5 describes Jews forced to sell children into slavery due to debt — a real-life parallel to the servant's family being sold.

Nehemiah 5:8 rebukes selling fellow Jews into slavery — contrasting with the master's command to sell the debtor and family here.

Exodus 21:2 regulates Hebrew debt slavery with a six-year limit — the master's command here would be subject to that law.

Deuteronomy 15:2 commands debt release every seventh year — the master's harsh demand for immediate payment contrasts with this gracious law.

Proverbs 22:7 states 'the borrower is slave to the lender,' directly illustrating the principle that drives the selling in this parable.

Luke 7:42 shows a creditor cancelling debts—opposed to the selling here. Both deal with inability to pay but with opposite responses.
