Exodus 21:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ ⁶ then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for life.

⁷ “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.
