EXOD527 Observe the laws of marrying a Hebrew maidservant. If the father of a Jewish girl is so poor that he sells her as a maidservant, Hashem shows great mercy on the girl and her father. He commands the buyer to marry the girl so that she does not remain a maidservant. Alternatively, the buyer must give the maidservant to his son in marriage. Otherwise, before she finishes her term of labor under the buyer’s care, he must help her to return to her father's house by allowing her redemption. All of these laws reflect the Holy One’s kindness towards His works and His great concern for unfortunate individuals.
