Exodus 21:1-11

1 Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 If thou shalt buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
4 If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart by himself.
5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart 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.
7 And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
8 If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he hath betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 If he shall take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.
11 And if he shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart free without money.
