Kiddushin 15 - Hebrew Servant Can Marry a Non-Jewish Slave-Woman

There are four categories of Hebrew servants discussed in the Torah:


1. A man who steals and can not repay, who is sold by the courts to pay the one he robbed;
2. A girl under the age of twelve who is sold by her father;
3. A man who sells himself because of his poverty;
4. A Jew who sells himself to a gentile.

A servant sold by the court can be given a Canaanite slave woman to have children.

Even today, there is a way for a mamzer (illegitimate) to have kosher children from a Canaanite slave woman.
