Exodus 21:2-7

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.
