'Male or Female' in the Bible
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
“When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies under his abuse, the owner must be punished.
“When a man strikes the eye of his male or female slave and destroys it, he must let the slave go free in compensation for his eye.
If he knocks out the tooth of his male or female slave, he must let the slave go free in compensation for his tooth.
If the ox gores a male or female slave, he must give 30 shekels of silver to the slave’s master, and the ox must be stoned.
