20 “If a man lies sexually with a woman who is a slave, assigned to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, a distinction shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free; 21 but (C)he shall bring his compensation to the Lord, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.
