Deuteronomy 15:16-17

16However, if the servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you,

17you shall take an awl and pierce a hole through his ear to the door. Then he will become your servant permanently (this applies to your female servant as well).
