Exodus 21:3

If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

If he came in {H935} by himself {H1610}, he shall go out {H3318} by himself {H1610}: if he were married {H1167}{H802}, then his wife {H802} shall go out {H3318} with him.

If he came single, he is to leave single; if he was married when he came, his wife is to go with him when he leaves.

If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.

If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.
