2If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600. 3If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH802H1167, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him.1 4If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master’sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610. 5And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not go outH3318 freeH2670:2 6Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
