Exodus 21:9
"If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her."
Key Reflection
This verse highlights the obligations of a master towards a female slave whom he has married off. It emphasizes that if she is not satisfactory, he must redeem her rather than sell her, thus preventing exploitation and ensuring some measure of protection for the woman, highlighting God's concern for justice and fairness in all human relationships.
