He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.”
The duty of redeeming a Hebrew bondmaid devolved upon her father. Thus, where the master or the master’s son failed to espouse her, the father was compelled, notwithstanding his poverty, to seek ways and means of redeeming his servant-daughter “lest it be a reflection on his family.”* * Mishneh Torah, Kinyan, Hilchoth Abadim IV, 2
