....fully immersed....
the rules for indenturing servants in Israel was that they were to be freed after six years of service.....my advise to anyone, considering selling their daughter or not, would be to pay no attention to your ignorant comments.....you have an almost atheistic tendency to gloss over important parts of the text.....significantly "the rules of making her free"......are you prepared to admit the "slavery" being discussed may be different from the slavery you want to pretend is being discussed?........did the slavery you want to pretend is being discussed have rules for making the slave free?......Exodus 21 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
Other Laws and Commands
21 Then God said to Moses, “These are the other laws that you will give to the people:
21:7 “A man might decide to sell his daughter as a slave. If this happens, the rules for making her free are not the same as the rules for making the men slaves free. 8 If the master who chose her for himself is not pleased with her, then he can sell the woman back to her father. If the master broke his promise to marry her, he loses the right to sell her to other people. 9 If the master promised to let the slave woman marry his son, he must treat her like a daughter, not like a slave.
The only thing this is lacking is a map to Cambodia. I don't know how much clearer this verse can be with direction on selling your daughter.
Do you know anyone who might decide to sell their daughter as a slave? What would your advise to them be?
What are the rules for making her free? The scripture above only gives buying and selling direction.
