Halacha 1א׳

יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁבָּא עַל שִׁפְחָה כְּנַעֲנִית אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִיא שִׁפְחָתוֹ הֲרֵי זֶה הַוָּלָד כְּנַעֲנִי לְכָל דָּבָר וְנִמְכָּר וְנִקְנֶה וּמִשְׁתַּמְּשִׁים בּוֹ לְעוֹלָם כִּשְׁאָר הָעֲבָדִים:

An Israelite who had relations with a Canaanite bondwoman — even though she is his own bondwoman, the child is a Canaanite bondman in every respect, and is sold and acquired and used for ever, like the rest of the bondmen.

Halacha 2ב׳

אֶחָד הַקּוֹנֶה עֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל אוֹ מִן גֵּר תּוֹשָׁב אוֹ מִן עַכּוּ"ם שֶׁהוּא כָּבוּשׁ תַּחַת יָדֵינוּ אוֹ מֵאֶחָד מִשְּׁאָר הָאֻמּוֹת יֵשׁ לוֹ לִמְכֹּר אֶת עַצְמוֹ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְעֶבֶד וַהֲרֵי הוּא עֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי לְכָל דָּבָר. וְכֵן מוֹכֵר בָּנָיו וּבְנוֹתָיו שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא כה מה) "מֵהֶם תִּקְנוּ וּמִמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם אֲשֶׁר עִמָּכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוֹלִידוּ בְּאַרְצְכֶם". וְכָל אֶחָד מֵאֵלּוּ הֲרֵי הוּא כְּעֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי לְכָל דָּבָר:

It is all one whether he acquires a Canaanite bondman from an Israelite, or from a resident alien, or from a gentile who is subdued under our hand, or from one of the rest of the nations: such a one may sell himself to an Israelite as a bondman, and he is a Canaanite bondman in every respect. And so too he sells his sons and his daughters, as it is said (Leviticus 25:45), "of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they have begotten in your land." And each one of these is as a Canaanite bondman in every respect.

Halacha 3ג׳

אֶחָד מִן הָאֻמּוֹת שֶׁבָּא עַל שִׁפְחָה כְּנַעֲנִית שֶׁלָּנוּ הֲרֵי הַבֵּן עֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר אֲשֶׁר הוֹלִידוּ בְּאַרְצְכֶם. אֲבָל הָעֶבֶד שֶׁלָּנוּ שֶׁבָּא עַל אַחַת מִן הָאֻמּוֹת אֵין הַבֵּן עֶבֶד שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר אֲשֶׁר הוֹלִידוּ בְּאַרְצְכֶם וְעֶבֶד אֵין לוֹ יַחַס:

One of the nations who had relations with a Canaanite bondwoman of ours — the son is a Canaanite bondman, as it is said, "whom they have begotten in your land." But a bondman of ours who had relations with one of the nations — the son is not a bondman, as it is said, "whom they have begotten in your land"; and a bondman has no lineage.
