American King James Version
"And it shall be, if he say to you, I will not go away from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you; "
— Deuteronomy 15:16, American King James Version
“And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;”
“And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go out from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee; ”
“It shall be, if he tells you, "I will not go out from you;" because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;”
“However, if the servant says to you,“I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you,”
“But if he say: I will not depart: because he loveth thee, and thy house, and findeth that he is well with thee:”
“But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you;”
“And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;”
And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty:
You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your floor, and out of your wine press: of that with which the LORD your God has blessed you you shall give to him.
And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing to day.
And it shall be, if he say to you, I will not go away from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
Then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever. And also to your maidservant you shall do likewise.
It shall not seem hard to you, when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant to you, in serving you six years: and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do. ¶
All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstling of your bullock, nor shear the firstling of your sheep.
