On שבת of פרשת משפטים, after the רב spoke about the פרשה, one of the מתפללים said “I don’t understand. The תורה says that after six years of work, if the עבד wants to stay with his master and not use the opportunity to go free, his ear is pierced. Why would he not want to go free?” One of the other מתפללים answered: “I understand him. Why, the תורה states ‘ויצאה אשתו עמו.’ And you want to call that going free?”
