Deuteronomy 15:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ And it shall be, if he says unto thee, I will not go away from thee because he loves thee and thy house because he is well with thee,

¹⁷ then thou shalt take an aul and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy slave for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

¹⁸ It shall not seem hard unto thee when thou sendest him away free from thee, for he has served thee for half the cost of a hired servant for six years; and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
