New Testament
Exodus 21:2-6
Laws About Servants
2If you purchase a Hebrew servant, he is to serve for six years, but in the seventh he may go free without paying anything. 3If he comes in by himself, he will go out by himself. If he is married when he comes in, then his wife will go out with him. 4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and the servant will go out by himself. 5But if the servant formally declares, “I love my master, my wife, and my children. I do not want to go out free,” 6then his master shall bring him to the judges.[] His master shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and he shall bore through his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve him for the rest of his life.
