1 And these the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 2 If thou shalt buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve: and in the seventh he shall go forth free gratuitously. 3 If he shall come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he possessed a wife, and his wife shall go forth with him. 4 If his lord shall give to hint a wife, and she brought to him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be to her lord, and he shall go forth by himself. 5 And if saying, the servant shall say, I loved my lord, my wife and my sons; I will not go forth free: 6 And his lord brought him near to God, and he brought him near to the door, or to the door-post, and his lord pierced his ear with an awl; and he served him forever.
