Exodus 21:4 Context
2If thou buy an Hebrew seruant, sixe yeeres he shall serue, and in the seuenth he shall goe out free for nothing. 3If he came in by himselfe, he shal goe out by himselfe: if he were married, then his wife shall goe out with him. 4If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she haue borne him sonnes or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himselfe. 5And if the seruant shall plainely say, I loue my master, my wife, and my children, I will not goe out free: 6Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, hee shall also bring him to the doore, or vnto the doore post, and his master shall boare his eare through with an aule, and he shall serue him for euer.
