Exodus 21:2-11
2IfH3588 thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall goH3318 outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.
3IfH518 he comeH935 in by himselfH1931, he shall goH3318 outH3318 by himselfH1931: ifH518 he be marriedH802, then his wifeH802 shall goH3318 outH3318 with him.
4IfH518 his masterH113 giveH5414 him a wifeH802, and sheH1931 bearH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and herH802 childrenH1121 shall be herH802 master’sH113, and he shall goH3318 outH3318 by himselfH1931.
5But ifH518 the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will notH3808 goH3318 outH3318 freeH2670:
6then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto GodH430, and shall bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the doorH1817 postH4201; and his masterH113 shall bore his earH241 throughH176 with an awlH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
7And ifH3588 a manH376 sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a maidservantH519, sheH3588 shall notH3808 goH3318 outH3318 as the menservants doH3318.
8IfH518 sheH834 please notH3808 herH518 masterH113, who hath espoused herH518 to himselfH3808, then shall he letH3808 herH518 be redeemedH6299: to sellH4376 herH518 unto a strange peopleH5971 he shall have noH3808 power, seeing he hath dealtH898 deceitfullyH898 with herH518.
9And ifH518 he espouse herH518 unto his sonH1121, he shall dealH6213 with herH518 after the mannerH4941 of daughtersH1323.
10IfH518 he takeH3947 him anotherH312 wife; herH3947 foodH7607, herH3947 raiment, and herH3947 duty of marriage, shall he notH3808 diminish.
11And ifH518 he doH6213 notH3808 theseH428 threeH7969 unto herH518, then shall sheH518 goH3318 outH3318 for nothingH3808, withoutH3808 moneyH3701.
