Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 21:7-11

_ _ Exodus 21:7-36. Laws for maidservants.

_ _ if a man sell his daughter — Hebrew girls might be redeemed for a reasonable sum. But in the event of her parents or friends being unable to pay the redemption money, her owner was not at liberty to sell her elsewhere. Should she have been betrothed to him or his son, and either change their minds, a maintenance must be provided for her suitable to her condition as his intended wife, or her freedom instantly granted.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 21:1-11.
