*
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 single ,
he shall go out single ;
if he comes in married ,
then his wife shall go out with him .
*
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters ,
the wife and her children shall be her master '
s and he shall go out alone .
*
But if the slave plainly says , `
I love my master ,
my wife ,
and my children ;
I will not go out free ,'
*
then his master shall bring him to God ,
and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost ;
and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl ;
and he shall serve him for life .
