Commentary for Kiddushin 34:6
מה ראית לרבות את הבן ולהוציא את האח מרבה אני את הבן שכן קם תחת אביו ליעדה ולשדה אחוזה
the son is included;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'stated,' since 'thee' is not mentioned.');"><sup>8</sup></span> then how am I to interpret,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'fulfil'.');"><sup>9</sup></span> he shall serve thee six years?
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Why should the slave be bequeathed to the son but not to the brother or any other heir? The first answer is that there is a tie between the father and so that does not exist for other heirs. A father can designate a female Hebrew slave to marry his son. And if a son redeems a consecrated ancestral field owned by his father, then the field returns to his possession at the Jubilee.
