bar it is day number 286 of our daily study of RZ and in the three chapters ofday study track of mish We are continuing in the laws of servants chapters 4 five and six here are our mitzvah for today positive commandment 196 is the Mitzvah to give gifts a severance package to the Hebrew man servant uh when he is discharged negative commandment 233 is a corollary negative commandment it is the prohibition do not allow said Hebrew man servant to leave your domain empty-handed meaning after he's finished working don't allow him to leave without Severance gifts the next mits of a positive 23 four and that is the Redemption of a Hebrew maid servant a girl who is I'll again I'll again use the term serving as an indentured servant her Redemption takes place in one of three ways either the one who she's working for marries her or his son marries her or she pays her uh the amount that was paid in order to contract her she just buys out her own contract and goes free positive commandment 233 is the Mitzvah to marry the Hebrew made servant that means somebody who has contracted this type of indentured servant a Hebrew maid servant he has a Mitzvah meaning it is a preference that he should marry her her and obviously that's if she wants it if she agrees to to be married to him but if she wants it then it's a priority to redeem her that way through a marriage but if not then um there are the other ways as we just mentioned of redeeming her and either way if she's not redeemed her period of servitude is similar to the uh Hebrew manservant it's no longer than 6 years or when she reaches maturity physical maturity and finally negative commandment 261 is the prohibition against uh selling the contract of a Hebrew maid servant meaning to say you're not allowed to give her contract to a new buyer a new owner okay those are mitzvah for today we'll see you for more tomorrow God willing
