Exodus 21:8 · ZARZA Bible

In context

6then his master shall bring him to God, and bring him to the door or the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve him for life. 7If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8If she is displeasing to her master, who chose her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her. 9If he selects her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter. 10If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, and marital rights of the first.
