Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him." — Exodus 21:3 (ASV)

His wife shall go out with him. —The privilege of the married Hebrew slave also extended to his wife, if he was married when he became a slave. It extended further, no doubt, to his children.
