*
And if thy brother ,
an Hebrew man ,
or an Hebrew woman ,
be sold unto thee ,
and serve thee six years ;
then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee .
*
And when thou sendest him out free from thee ,
thou shalt not let him go away empty :
*
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock tso #
n #,
and out of thy floor ,
and out of thy winepress :
of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him .
*
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt ,
and the LORD thy God redeemed thee :
therefore I command thee this thing to day .
*
And it shall be ,
if he say unto thee ,
I will not go away from thee ;
because he loveth thee and thine house ,
because he is well with thee ;
*
Then thou shalt take an aul ,
and thrust it through his ear unto the door ,
and he shall be thy servant for ever .
And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise .
*
It shall not seem hard unto thee ,
when thou sendest him away free from thee ;
for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee ,
in serving thee six years :
and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest .
