Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 15 of Deuteronomy. A Hebrew slave must be released in the seventh year and must not be sent away empty-handed. The owner must provide generously from his resources. The legislation transforms the memory of slavery in Egypt into a reason to limit slavery within Israel: those whom God delivered must treat their own brothers differently.

so nimm einen Pfriemen und bohre ihm durch sein Ohr an der Tür und laß ihn ewiglich dein Knecht sein. Mit deiner Magd sollst du auch also tun.
Entonces tomarás una lesna, y horadarás su oreja junto a la puerta, y será tu siervo para siempre: así también harás a tu criada.
tomarás el punzón y le perforarás la oreja contra la puerta, y será tu esclavo para siempre. Lo mismo harás con tu esclava.
alors tu prendras un poinçon et tu lui perceras l'oreille contre la porte, et il sera pour toujours ton esclave. Tu feras de même pour ta servante.
allora prendi una lesina, e foragli l’orecchia contro all’uscio; ed egli ti sarà servo in perpetuo. Fa’ eziandio così alla tua serva.
Então tomarás uma sovela, e lhe furarás a orelha à porta, e teu servo será para sempre; e também assim farás à tua serva.
你要拿錐子在門上穿透他的耳朵,他就永遠成為你的奴僕了。你待婢女也要這樣。
