Darby Bible
Exodus 21:2-11
2If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
4If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.
5But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;
6then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.
7And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.
8If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.
9And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.
10If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.
11And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
