Exodus 21:2-6
2IfH3588 you buyH7069 a HebrewH5680 servantH5650, he is to serve youH5647 for sixH8337 yearsH8141. But in the seventhH7637 year, he shall goH3318 freeH2670 without paying anythingH2600. 3IfH518 he arrived aloneH935H1610, he is to leave aloneH3318H1610; ifH518H1167 heH1931 arrived with a wifeH802, she is to leaveH3318 with himH5973. 4IfH518 his masterH113 givesH5414 him a wifeH802 and she bearsH3205 him sonsH1121 orH176 daughtersH1323, the womanH802 and her childrenH3206 shall belong toH1961 her masterH113, and only the manH1931 shall go freeH3318H1610.
5But ifH518 the servantH5650 declaresH559, ‘I loveH157 my masterH113 and my wifeH802 and childrenH1121; I do notH3808 want to goH3318 freeH2670,’ 6then his masterH113 is to bring himH5066 beforeH413 the judgesH430.1 And he shall take himH5066 toH413 the doorH1817 orH176H413 doorpostH4201 and pierceH7527 his earH241 with an awlH4836. Then he shall serve his masterH5647 for lifeH5769.
