Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 21:2-6
-
"If thou buy an Hebrew servant,
six years he shall
serve: and in the seventh he shall go
out free for nothing. 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 his master have given
him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the
wife and her children shall be her master's, and he
shall go out by himself. And if the servant shall
plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children;
I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him
unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or
unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear
through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever."
-
Deuteronomy 15:12
-
"And if thy brother, an Hebrew
man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee,
and serve thee six
years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go
free from thee."
