Exodus 21:2

If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Servant, or slave. A man might sell himself and his children. But if they were females, under age, God prescribes how they are to be treated, ver. 7. Six years: in case he were bought immediately after the expiration of the Sabbatic law: none could be detained for a longer period. If a person lost his liberty in the fourth year after the general release, he would recover it in the space of two or three years at latest. (Haydock) (Bonfrere)
