Éxodo 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 21:7

And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant
That is, if an Israelite, as the Targum of Jonathan, sells his little daughter, as the same Targum, and so Jarchi and Aben Ezra, one that is under age, that is not arrived to the age of twelve years and a day, and this through poverty; he not being able to support himself and his family, puts his daughter out to service, or rather sells her to be a servant:

she shall not go out as the menservants do;
that are sold, before described; or rather, according to the Targum,

``as the Canaanitish servants go out, who are made free, because of a tooth, or an eye, (the loss of them, ( Exodus 21:26 Exodus 21:27 ) ) but in the years of release, and with the signs (of puberty), and in the jubilee, and at the death of their masters, with redemption of silver,''

so Jarchi.

Éxodo 21:7 In-Context

5 Pero si el siervo insiste, diciendo: "Amo a mi señor, a mi mujer y a mis hijos; no saldré libre",

6 entonces su amo lo traerá a Dios , y lo traerá a la puerta o al quicial. Y su amo le horadará la oreja con una lezna, y él le servirá para siempre.

7 Y si alguno vende a su hija por sierva, ella no saldrá libre como salen los siervos.

8 Si ella no agrada a su amo que la había destinado para sí, permitirá que sea redimida. Pero no podrá venderla a un pueblo extranjero, por haberla tratado con engaño.

9 Y si la destina para su hijo, la tratará conforme a la costumbre de las hijas.
