Exodus 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 21:9

And if he have betrothed her unto his son
Not caring to betroth and marry her himself, as being more suitable in age for his son than for himself;

he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters;
as if she was his daughter, and give her a dowry: or the son shall treat her after the manner the daughters of Israel are treated when married, by giving her food, raiment, and the duty of marriage, so Jarchi: or after the manner of the daughters of Israel that are virgins, and who are not sold, as Aben Ezra.

Exodus 21:9 In-Context

7 " 'And if a man sells his daughter as a slave woman, she will not go out as male slaves go out.
8 If {she does not please her master} who selected her, he will allow her to be redeemed; he has no authority to sell her to foreign people, since he has dealt treacherously with her.
9 And if he selects her for his son, he shall do for her according to the regulations for daughters.
10 If he takes for himself another, he will not reduce her food, her clothing, or her right of cohabitation.
11 And if he does not do for her these three, she shall go out for nothing; there will not be silver [paid for her].
