Document Summary
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 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 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. But if the servant declares, i love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free," 6 then his master must take him before the judges. [or, before god ] 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.
