Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Exodus 21:1-11 specifically about the rights and obligations concerning Hebrews purchasing Hebrew slaves? And verses 7-11 about the sale of one's own daughter into slavery? Naturally this topic is troubling to the typical 21st century lay Christian. And then specifically Exodus 21:10, "If he (your daughter's master) takes another wife, he shall not withhold her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights." What exactly does this mean? That your enslaved daughter retains the right to have sexual relations with her master after he has married another woman? And that if her master does not provide your enslaved daughter with food, clothing, and her conjugal rights (meaning sex?), then she is given her feeding without cost? This does not sound right to my 21st century lay mind. Can someone please explain this to me?
