Let your soul love intelligent slaves; do not withhold from them their freedom.
22
Do you have cattle? Look after them; if they are profitable to you, keep them.
23
Do you have children? Discipline them, and make them obedient from their youth.
24
Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity, and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.
