And these are the judgments which you shall put before them:

When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

If he comes in with his body, he shall go out with his body. If he was the husband of a wife, his wife shall go out with him.

If his master gives him a wife, and she bears sons or daughters to him, the wife and her children shall belong to her master; and he shall go out with his body.

And if the slave truly says, I love my master, my wife and my children; I do not desire to go out free,

his master shall bring him to God, and one shall bring him to the door, or to the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

And when a man sells his daughter for a slave-girl, she shall not go out as the male slaves go out.

If she is bad in the eyes of her master who has appointed her for himself, he shall allow her redemption. He shall not have power to sell her to a foreign people, in his deceiving her.

And if he chooses her for his son, he shall do to her as is the custom of daughters.

If he takes another for himself, her flesh, her clothing, and her conjugal right shall not be diminished.

And if he does not do these three for her, she shall go out for nothing, without silver.
