Exodus 21:1-11

1
Now these are the lawes, which thou shalt set before them:
2
If thou bye an Ebrewe seruant, he shall serue sixe yeres, and in the seuenth he shall go out free, for nothing.
3
If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4
If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.
5
But if the seruant saye thus, I loue my master, my wife and my children, I will not goe out free,
6
Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.
7
Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
8
If shee please not her master, who hath betrothed her to him selfe, then shall hee cause to buy her: hee shall haue no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.
9
But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.
10
If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.
11
And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.
