“પરંતુ જો તે ગુલામ સ્પષ્ટ રીતે એવું કહે કે; ‘હું તો મારા માલિકને તથા મારી પત્નીને તથા મારાં બાળકોને પ્રેમ કરું છું; મારે છૂટવું નથી.’
हिन्दीनिर्गमन २१:५
परन्तु यदि वह दास दृढ़ता से कहे, ‘मैं अपने स्वामी, और अपनी पत्नी, और बालकों से प्रेम रखता हूँ; इसलिए मैं स्वतंत्र होकर न चला जाऊँगा;’

In context

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

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

5But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’

6then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

7“If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
