2If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee, and in the seventh year he shall go forth free for nothing.
3If he should have come in alone, he shall also go forth alone; and if his wife should have gone in together with him, his wife also shall go out.
— Exodus 21:4 —
5And if the servant should answer and say, I love my master and wife and children, I will not go away free;
6his master shall bring him to the judgment seat of God, and then shall he bring him to the door—to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
