Exodus 21:9

9 sin autem filio suo desponderit eam iuxta morem filiarum faciet illi

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 si quis vendiderit filiam suam in famulam non egredietur sicut ancillae exire consuerunt

8 si displicuerit oculis domini sui cui tradita fuerit dimittet eam populo autem alieno vendendi non habet potestatem si spreverit eam

9 sin autem filio suo desponderit eam iuxta morem filiarum faciet illi

10 quod si alteram ei acceperit providebit puellae nuptias et vestimenta et pretium pudicitiae non negabit

11 si tria ista non fecerit egredietur gratis absque pecunia
