Lying with a Slave Woman

19:20 “‘When a man has sexual intercourse with a woman, ²  although she is a slave woman designated for another man and she has not yet been ransomed, or freedom has not been granted to her, there will be an obligation to pay compensation. ³  They must not be put to death, because she was not free.

27:27 If, however, ⁴  it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it according to ⁵  its conversion value and must add one fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed it must be sold according to its conversion value.

In the meantime, the woman has lost her virginity and has, therefore, lost part of her value to the master in the sale to the man for whom she had been designated. Compensation was, therefore, required (see the explanation in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 130-31).

[27:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “And if.”

[27:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “in” or “by.”
