Jerusalem Talmud Gittin
MISHNAH: A person who is half slave and half free works for his master one day and for himself one day, the words of the House of Hillel. The House of Shammai say, you provided for his master but you did not provide for him. He can marry neither a slave woman131The free part in him is forbidden any sexual relation with a slave. nor a free woman132The free woman is forbidden any sexual relation with the slave part in him.: shall he be alone? But the world was created only for procreation and increase, as it is said133Is. 45:18.: “He did not create it to be empty, He formed it to be settled.” For the public good one forces his master to manumit him and he writes a bond for half his value134This entered Roman law by a decree of Justinian, c. 1. C. 7,7. Most earlier jurists rejected the idea of partial manumission; cf. R. Taubenschlag (Note 104), p. 75.. The House of Hillel changed and instructed following the House of Shammai.
