Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever.

But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.

And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.

You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
