Chapter 15
12
If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall send him away free from you.
13
And when you send him free from yourself, you shall not send him away empty.
14
You shall surely endow him from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your wine vat—of which the LORD your God has blessed you. You shall give to him.
15
And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; therefore I am commanding you this today.
16
And it shall be, if he says to you, "I will not go out from you, because I love you and your house, because it is good for me with you."
17
And you shall take the awl and put it through his ear and into the doorpost, and he shall be your servant forever. And you shall do the same to your maidservant.
18
It will not be hard in your eyes when you send him free from your people, for it is double the reward of a hired worker—your servant six years—and the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
