The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that Sheshan gave his daughter to his servant Jarha, and she bore him Attai. The Septuagint, while it contains a similar narrative, does not provide a complete word-for-word correspondence and has its own structure and articles, which may indicate some differences in interpretation or emphasis. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls are not directly referenced here, so their readings are not available for comparison. Overall, the primary agreement is between the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint in the general storyline, but the exact phrasing and order may differ.
וַיִּתֵּ֨ן שֵׁשָׁ֧ן אֶת־ בִּתּ֛וֹ לְיַרְחָ֥ע עַבְדּ֖וֹ לְאִשָּׁ֑ה וַתֵּ֥לֶד ל֖וֹ אֶת־ עַתָּֽי׃

bor: According to the Book of the Covenant (Ex 20:20-23:33) a slave whom his master had purchased was to be released after six years. Should he choose to remain in his master's service a religious ceremony was necessary to ratify his decision. "Then his master shall bring him unto God" (better than "unto the judges" of the King James Version), "and shall bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl" (Ex 21:6). It is highly improbable that "unto God" means "to a sanctuary"; for there was no special reason for performing this ceremony near the door of a sanctuary. On the other hand the entrance to a private house was a sacred spot. According to primitive thinking near the door dwelt the household gods whose function it was to…
