1 NOW these are the judgments which you shall set before them. 2 When you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve you; and in the seventh year he shall go out free from your house without price. 3 If he came in single, he shall go out single; if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master has given him a wife and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be his master's and he shall go out alone. 5 And if the servant shall say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free; 6 Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also 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.
