Exodus 21:1-5 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife will go out with him.

4. If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he will go out by himself.

5. However, if the servant plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free,”
