Exodus 21:8

“If she please not her master, etc.] “Be evil in the eyes of her master” f642; and he has no liking of her, and love to her, not being agreeable in her person, temper, or conduct, so that he does not choose to make her his wife: who hath betrothed her to him; but not completed the marriage, as he promised, when he bought her, or at least gave reason to expect that he would; for, according to the Jewish canons, a Hebrew handmaid might not be sold but to one who laid himself under obligation to espouse her to himself, or his son, when she was fit to be betrothed f643; and so Jarchi says, he ought to espouse her, and take her to be his wife, for the money of her purchase is the money of her…”

“Who hath betrothed her to himself - For a concubine, or secondary Wife. Not that Masters always took Maid - servants on these terms. Exodus 21:9”
