3 If he comes into service alone, he shall leave alone; if he comes with a wife, his wife shall leave with him.
4 But if his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children belong to her master and the man shall leave alone.
5 If, however, the slave declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I will not leave as a free person,’
6 his master shall bring him to God and there, at the door or doorpost, he shall pierce his ear with an awl, thus keeping him as his slave forever.
7 When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do.
8 But if she displeases her master, who had designated her for himself, he shall let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.
9 If he designates her for his son, he shall treat her according to the ordinance for daughters.
