NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and if unpleasant (רָעָה, ra’ah) in the eyes of her master.”

²tn The verb יָעַד (ya’ad) does not mean “betroth, espouse” as some of the earlier translations had it, but “to designate.” When he bought the girl, he designated her for himself, giving her and her family certain expectations.

³tn The verb is a Hiphil perfect with vav (ו) consecutive from פָדָה (padah, “to redeem”). Here in the apodosis the form is equivalent to an imperfect: “let someone redeem her” – perhaps her father if he can, or another. U. Cassuto says it can also mean she can redeem herself and dissolve the relationship (Exodus, 268).

⁴tn Heb “he has no authority/power,” for the verb means “rule, have dominion.”

⁵sn The deceit is in not making her his wife or concubine as the arrangement had stipulated.
