In Exodus 21, it declares that a servant could say that he wished to stay with his master after serving for 7 years. What did they do to the servant during a ceremony to make his decision public?
Answer They pierced his ear
After this, a servant back could actually love his master and be treated fairly. The master would take his beloved servant to a door and pierce his ear with an awl. Wham! Pierced! It seems cruel, but hey, ear piercing is super common now.
