Deuteronomy 15:12-18

12If thy brotherH251, a HebrewH5680 man, or a HebrewH5680 woman, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee. 13And when thou lettest him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him goH7971 emptyH7387: 14thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepressH3342; as Jehovah thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him. 15And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and Jehovah thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee: thereforeH3651 I commandH6680 thee this thingH1697 to-day. 16And it shall beH1961, if he sayH559 unto thee, I will not goH3318 out from thee; because he loveth thee and thy houseH1004, because he is wellH2895 with thee; 17then thou shalt takeH3947 an awlH4836, and thrust it through his earH241 unto the doorH1817, and he shall beH1961 thy servantH5650 for everH5769. And alsoH637 unto thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise. 18It shall not seem hardH7185 unto thee, when thou lettest him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee; for to the doubleH4932 of the hireH7939 of a hireling hath he servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141: and Jehovah thy GodH430 will blessH1288 thee in all that thou doest.
