In Leviticus 25:42, the feminine singular construct noun occurs in the prohibition that those brought out of Egypt “shall not be sold with the sale of a servant.” The clause places the term within a ban on selling them as servants.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Leviticus 25:42, the APB presents the clause as “they shall not be sold with the sale of a servant.” The precise English correspondence of the noun cannot be isolated beyond that clause.
