| 2 | “When you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for six years; then in the seventh he is to leave as a free man 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 arrives alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrives with a wife, his wife 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 wife and her children belong to her master, and the man must leave alone. | 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 slave declares, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I do not want to leave as a free man,’ | 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,’ | |
| 6 | his master is to bring him to the judges and then bring him to the door or doorpost. His master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve his master for life. | then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. | then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. | |
