¹² `When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years -- then in the seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee.

¹⁴ At the end of seven years ye do send forth each his brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, yea, thou hast sent him forth free from thee: and your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear.

³⁹ `And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;

⁴⁰ as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, --

⁴¹ then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.

² `When thou buyest a Hebrew servant -- six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;

³ if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he `is' owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone out with him;

⁴ if his lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters -- the wife and her children are her lord's, and he goeth out by himself.

⁵ `And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons -- I do not go out free;

⁶ then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him -- to the age.

¹ `At the end of seven years thou dost make a release,

³⁵ and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age, the son doth remain -- to the age;

³⁶ if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
