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 "Suppose a man sells his daughter as a servant. Then she can't go free as male servants do.

8 "But what if the master who has chosen her does not like her? Then he must let the man buy her back. He has no right to sell her to strangers. He has broken his promise to her.

9 "What if he chooses her to get married to his son? Then he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

10 "What if he marries another woman? He must still give the first one her food and clothes and make love to her.

11 If he does not provide her with those three things, she can go free. She does not have to pay anything.
