In context
1 Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:
2 If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.
3 If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.
5 But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,
6 Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.
7 Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
