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.

8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.

9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.
