Exodus 21:1-6

RHE

NIV

1 These are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
1 “These are the laws you are to set before them:
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee; in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
2 “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 With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also shall go out with him.
3 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 But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters; the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.
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.
5 And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, I will not go out free:
5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’
6 His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.
6 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.
