Exodus 21:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 If his master hath given him a wife and she hath borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her [a]master’s, but he shall go out himself alone.
5 But if the servant say thus, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free,
6 Then his master shall bring him unto the [b]Judges, and set him to the [c]door, or to the post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him [d]forever.
