Exodus 21:2-4

Living Bible

² “If you buy a Hebrew slave,^[a] he shall serve only six years and be freed in the seventh year, and need pay nothing to regain his freedom.

³ “If he sold himself as a slave before he married, then if he married afterwards, only he shall be freed; but if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife shall be freed with him at the same time. ⁴ But if his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they have sons or daughters, the wife and children shall still belong to the master, and he shall go out by himself free.
