But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything. | When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. | “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. | |
| 3 | If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him. | If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. | If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. | |
| 4 | If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. | If 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 alone. | If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. | |
| 5 | But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’ | But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ | “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ | |

| 7 | And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do. | “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. | “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. | |
| 8 | If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself (so that he does not designate her for himself), he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her. | If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. | If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed.

| 10 | If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife. | If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. | If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. | |
| 11 | If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment. | And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money. | If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money. | |
