When a Jewish servant goes free after working for us, we must take of our wealth and give it to him so that as he again enters independent life, he has the wherewithal to make a new start. … Key concept is to help us acquire positive and treasured character traits, for thereby we will merit Heaven's blessings. Wanting to bestow good upon His nation, Hashem desires that we show mercy on the Jewish servant who has worked for us. When the servant goes free, we give him of our own wealth, as a matter of charity.
