Exodus 21:1-4 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. “Give the Israelites the following laws:

2. If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay anything.

3. If he was unmarried when he became your slave, he is not to take a wife with him when he leaves; but if he was married when he became your slave, he may take his wife with him.

4. If his master gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the woman and her children belong to the master, and the man shall leave by himself.
