Exodus 21:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “But the slave might say, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children. I don’t want to go free.’ ⁶ Then the slave’s master will take him to God. The master will take him to a door or doorframe. And he will punch a hole through the slave’s ear using a sharp tool. Then the slave will serve that master all his life.

⁷ “A man might sell his daughter as a slave. There are rules for setting her free. They are different from the rules for setting the men slaves free.
