If master his he will give to him a wife and she will bear to him sons or daughters the woman and children her she will belong to master her and he he will go out with body his.
5 And if the servant will say, ‘I love my lord, and my wife and children, I will not depart freely,’
And if carefully he will say the slave I love master my wife my and children my not I will go out a free [person].
6 then his lord shall make an offering for him to the heavens, and it shall be applied to the door and the posts, and he will pierce his ear with an awl. And he shall be his servant in perpetuity.
And he will bring near him master his to God and he will bring near him to the door or to the doorpost and he will pierce master his ear his with the awl and he will serve him for ever.
7 If anyone sells his daughter to be a servant, she shall not depart as a female servant is accustomed to go out.
And if he will sell a man daughter his to a female slave not she will go out when go out the [male] slaves.
8 If she displeases the eyes of her lord, to whom she had been delivered, he shall dismiss her. But he shall have no authority to sell her to a foreign people, even if he despises her.
If she is bad in [the] eyes of master her who (for himself *Q(K)*) he designated her and he will let be ransomed her to a people foreign not he will have dominion to sell her because has dealt treacherously he with her.
