Exodus 21:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Then he must stand beside either the door or the doorpost at the place of worship,^[a] while his owner punches a small hole through one of his ears with a sharp metal rod. This makes him a slave for life.

⁷ A young woman who was sold by her father doesn't gain her freedom in the same way that a man does. ⁸ If she doesn't please the man who bought her to be his wife, he must let her be bought back.^[b] He cannot sell her to foreigners; this would break the contract he made with her.
