Exodus 21:3-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. “If he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4. “If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children are her master’s, and he goes out by himself.

5. “And if the servant truly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children, let me not go out free,’

6. then his master shall bring him before Elohim, and 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.

7. “And when a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she does not go out as the male servants do.

8. “If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who has engaged her to himself, then he shall let her be ransomed. He shall have no authority to sell her to a foreign people, because of him deceiving her.

9. “And if he has engaged her to his son, he is to do to her as is the right of daughters.
