Exodus 21:8 in Context — Exodus 21
6 Então seu amo o fará chegar aos juízes, e o fará chegar à porta ou ao umbral; e seu amo lhe furará a orelha com ferramenta pontiaguda, e será seu servo para sempre.
7 E quando alguém vender sua filha por serva, não sairá como costumam sair os servos.
8 Se ela não agradar ao seu senhor, o qual não a tomou por esposa, permitirá a ela que se resgate, e ela não a poderá vender a povo estrangeiro, visto que não cumpriu seu compromisso com ela.
9 Mas se a houver desposado com seu filho, fará com ela segundo o costume das filhas.
10 Se tomar para si outra, não diminuirá seu alimento, nem sua porção de roupa, nem o direito conjugal.
