Exodus 21:4 in Context — Exodus 21
2 Si comprares siervo hebreo, seis años servirá; mas el séptimo saldrá horro de balde.
3 Si entró solo, solo saldrá: si tenía mujer, saldrá él y su mujer con él.
4 Si su amo le hubiere dado mujer, y ella le hubiere parido hijos ó hijas, la mujer y sus hijos serán de su amo, y él saldrá solo.
5 Y si el siervo dijere: Yo amo á mi señor, á mi mujer y á mis hijos, no saldré libre:
6 Entonces su amo lo hará llegar á los jueces, y harále llegar á la puerta ó al poste; y su amo le horadará la oreja con lesna, y será su siervo para siempre.
