20 And if▫ a man◦ lies with◦ a woman, lying·​·down with seed, and she◦ is a handmaid, promised* to a man◦, and redeeming◦ she has not been redeemed◦, or freedom has not been given to her, there shall be a seeking·​·out; they shall not be put·​·to·​·death, for she was· not ·free.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 20. For every one who conjoins the good affections of the spiritual man with the imperfect affections of the natural man, in the course of regeneration while these are, as yet, not fully delivered from evils, nor able to act from freedom entirely, will suffer the consequences of such errors, although he is not condemned absolutely, since he has been under the influence of impulse, and has not acted from deliberate choice in spiritual freedom.
