Commentary for Kiddushin 35:4
ורבא מאי טעמא לא אמר כרב חייא בר אבין משום כבודו דאברהם שאני :
A Hebrew bondman has [these] features, viz. : he goes out [free] through [the passage of six] years, by jubilee, and by his master's death, which is not so in the case of a Hebrew bondwoman. And a Hebrew bondwoman has [these] features, viz. : a Hebrew bondwoman goes out by 'signs', she cannot be sold and re-sold, and is redeemed against her will, which is not so in the case of a Hebrew bondman.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Rava proved that a Gentile inherits from his father from the verse in Leviticus—and he shall reckon with his purchasers, and not his inheritors, proving that a Gentile has inheritors. R. Hiyya b. Abin did not use this verse because the words “and not with his inheritors” are not in the Torah.
