Commentary

'The child belonged to the bed' means the person who owns the bed; i.e., to the husband of the woman or the master of the female slave. The child will be considered his, and the relation of inheritance etc., would also be related to him; no relation will be connected with the man due to whose illegal affairs the child was born.
