Exodus 21:6-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

6. Then he must stand beside either the door or the doorpost at the place of worship, while his owner punches a small hole through one of his ears with a sharp metal rod. This makes him a slave for life.

7. A young woman who was sold by her father doesn't gain her freedom in the same way that a man does.

8. If she doesn't please the man who bought her to be his wife, he must let her be bought back. He cannot sell her to foreigners; this would break the contract he made with her.
