Talmud zu Bereschit 9:25
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָר֣וּר כְּנָ֑עַן עֶ֥בֶד עֲבָדִ֖ים יִֽהְיֶ֥ה לְאֶחָֽיו׃
Da sprach er: Verflucht sei Kanaan! Ein Knecht der Knechte sei er seinen Brüdern!
Tractate Avadim
A Canaanite slave5Any heathen slave was called ‘Canaanite’ with reference to Gen. 9, 25. is acquired by money payment, by written deed or by seizure, and he acquires his liberty with money which is paid [to his master] by others or with a written document which he receives [from him]. Such is the opinion of R. Meir; but the Sages said: [He acquires liberty] with money which he himself pays or with a deed received for him by others, provided only that the money belongs to others.6Because everything possessed by a Canaanite slave belongs, to his master.
