| 2 | When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman for nothing; | 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 comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone out 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 lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes out by himself. | 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 | And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out 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,’ | |
| 6 | then his lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time. | 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. | |
