Men-Stealer

Men-Stealer [1]
( Ἀνδραποδιστής ), one who kidnaps or decoys a free person into slavery, an act condemned by the apostle among the highest crimes ( 1 Timothy 1:10). The seizing or stealing of a free-born Israelite, either to treat him as a slave or sell him as a slave to others, was by the law of Moses punished with death ( Exodus 21:16; Deuteronomy 24:7), which the Jewish writers inform us was inflicted by strangling (see Wetstein, ad loc.). The practice was likewise forbidden among the Greeks (see Smith's Diet. Of Class. Ant . s.v. Andrapodismou Graphe), and was condemned by law among the Romans (see Adams's Roman Antiq . p. 24). (See Slave).
