Exodus 21:8 in other translations
If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

7 And when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
8 If she is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously with her.
9 And if, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
10 If he take to himself another, her food her clothing, and her marriage-right, shall he not withdraw.
