Commentary for Kiddushin 32:19
מנה"מ דת"ר יכול לא יהו מעניקים אלא ליוצא בשש מנין לרבות יוצא ביובל ובמיתת האדון ואמה העבריה בסימנין ת"ל (דברים טו, יב) תשלחנו וכי תשלחנו
Now, as for [teaching,] 'The outfit of a female slave belongs to herself,' that is well, [for] it is to excl brothers,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though it would have belonged to her father, had he lived, he does not transmit it as a legacy to his sons, her brothers.');"><sup>20</sup></span> For it was taught: And ye shall make them [the heathen slaves] an inheritance for your sons after you<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XXV, 46.');"><sup>21</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Torah directly states that one who goes free at the end of six years receives the gift. Through the repetition of the verse, the baraita adds the three other circumstances that according to the first opinion entail a gift from the master—Jubilee, master’s death and “signs” for a female slave.
This baraita excludes the runaway and one who buys his freedom. They are not “sent away”—they leave on their own.
