ובפלוגתא דהני תנאי דתניא (שמות כא, ח) בבגדו בה

And is redeemed against his will.' Raba thought to interpret: against the master's will. Said Abaye to him: How so - that a bond is drawn up for him for her value? But why:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Must he accept it?');"><sup>17</sup></span> he holds a pearl in his hand - shall we give him a shard?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' With a double meaning: he holds something of value, must he accept something valueless; also, must he accept the shard on which such a bond may be written?');"><sup>18</sup></span> But, said Abaye, against her father's will,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If he can afford it, he is forced to redeem her (Rashi) . Tosaf.: the family is compelled to redeem her against her father's desire, who may not wish to have her back at home and to keep her.');"><sup>19</sup></span> on account of the family disgrace. If so, i the case of a Hebrew bondman too, let the members of his family [be forced to redeem him] on account of the family disgrace? - Then he will go and sell himself again. Then here too, he [the father] will go and sell her again? - Was it not taught: She cannot be sold and then sold again? And this agrees with R'Simeon, For it was taught: A man may sell his daughter for marital relationship, and then repeat it;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' One may accept kiddushin on behalf of his daughter, a minor: and if she is widowed or divorced while an arusah (q.v. Glos.) he can do so again, on each occasion the money of kiddushin belonging to himself.');"><sup>20</sup></span> for servitude, and then repeat it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If she became free through six years, jubilee, or her master's death, and is still a minor (ketannah) .');"><sup>21</sup></span> for marriage after servitude,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Having been freed from servitude, she can then be given in marriage.');"><sup>22</sup></span> but not for servitude after marriage. R'Simeon said: Just as a man cannot sell his daughter for servitude after marriage, so a man cannot sell his daughter for servitude after servitude. Now this enters into the dispute of the following Tannaim. For it was taught: [To sell her unto a strange people he shall have no power], seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her [be-bigedo bah]:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XXI, 8.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
