Deuteronomy 15:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. And the Lord your God saved you. That is why I am commanding this to you today.
16 But your slave might say to you, “I don’t want to leave you.” He might love you and your family. He might have a good life with you. 17 If he does this, stick an awl[a] through his ear into the door. He will be your slave for life. Also do this to a woman slave.
