Deuteronomy 15:14 Talmud References: Tractate Avadim

When [the slave] has completed his term of years, he must not be sent away empty-handed, as it is written, And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty; thou shalt furnish him liberally.⁶Deut. 15, 13f. R. Eleazar b. Azariah says: If the house is blessed on his account he is furnished liberally, but otherwise not. R. ‘Aḳiba says: In either case [the master] should not give him less than fifty zuz. We give him as parting gifts anything except slaves, documents and immovable property.⁷i.e. things that do not grow from the soil, because Scripture ordained, Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-press (Deut. 15, 14). Both a man and woman [owner is under the obligation to give parting gifts] but only a man can acquire a Hebrew slave while a woman cannot acquire a [male] Hebrew slave.
