Deuteronomy 15:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; for this reason I lay this command upon you today. 16 But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you’, because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you, 17 then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his earlobe into the door, and he shall be your slave[a] for ever.
You shall do the same with regard to your female slave.[b]
