2 When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve,—but in the seventh shall he go out freely—for nought.
3 If, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out,—if he was married, then shall his wife go out with him.
4 If his lord gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, and, he shall go out by himself.
5 But, if the servant shall plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife and my sons,—I will not go out free,
6 then shall his lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door-post,—and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
7 And when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out-going of the men-servants,
8 If she is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her in that he hath dealt treacherously with her.
