1"Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.
2If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
3If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master`s, and he shall go out by himself.
5But if the servant shall plainly say, `I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;`
6then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
7"If a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
