A father can sell his daughter as a Hebrew maidservant to his father (the girl's grandfather). Although the grandfather can not marry his granddaughter, he can designate her to marry his son, the girl's uncle, which the Torah allows.A master, who strikes a Canaanite slave and deprives him of his tooth or eye, must set him free. In contrast, a Hebrew servant receives payment but not freedom in this situation.
If a servant has a wife or children when he begins his term of servitude, his master may give him a Canaanite slave-woman as a mate.
