Which is the slavewoman? Anyone who is half slave and half free, as it is stated (Lev. 19:20): ‘‘And redeemed she was not redeemed’’ — [these are] the words of R’ Akiva. R’ Yishmael says: This is she who is a real slavewoman. R’ Elazar ben Azariah says: All forbidden intimacies are stated explicitly, and what is the exception? We must conclude that it is she who is half slave and half free.
