Exodus 21:2-7

2If thou shalt buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall departH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.

3If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall departH3318 by himselfH1610: if he was marriedH1167H802, then his wifeH802 shall departH3318 with him.1

4If his masterH113 hath givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she hath borneH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master’sH113, and he shall departH3318 by himselfH1610.

5And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not departH3318 freeH2670:2

6Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him to the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or to the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an awlH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.

7And if a manH376 shall sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a female slaveH519, she shall not departH3318 as the male slavesH5650 doH3318.
