Exodus 21:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Temporal and civil ordinances appointed by God touching servitude, murders, and wrongs: the observation whereof doth not justify a man, but are given to bridle our corrupt nature, which else would break out into all mischief and cruelty.
1 Now these are the laws, which thou shalt set before them:
2 (A)If thou buy an Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free for [a]nothing.
3 If he [b]came himself alone, he shall go out himself alone: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
