Pierced Ear?
Deuteronomy 15:12-18
12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you
and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free.
13 And when you release him, do not send him away
empty-handed.
14 Supply him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor
and your winepress. Give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you.
15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God
redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today.
16 But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave
you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you,
17 then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the
door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your
maidservant.
18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free,
because his service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that
of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.
