Laws of Jewish Slaves
A Jewish slave goes free after six years of work or the Yovel, which ever comes first. His master is responsible to support him and his original family. He is allowed to give the Jewish slave a non Jewish maidservant to marry, children that are born belong to the owner and are considered non Jewish slaves.
