Exodus 21:7 in context

  1. 5But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
  2. 6then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
  3. 7And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
  4. 8If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
  5. 9And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
