PARASHAT MISHPATIM (Exodus 21:1-24:18)

But if the serf should say, yes say: I love my Lord, my wife and my children,
I will not go out at liberty!,
his lord is to have him approach God's oracle,
and then he is to have him approach the door or the post;
his lord is to pierce his ear with an awl,
and he is to serve him forever.

(Exodus 21:5-6)
