"But suppose your servant says, 'I will not leave you,' because he loves you and your family, and he has done well with you. In that case, take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door. After that, he will be your servant for life. And do the same for your female servants."
An awl is basically a big spike. This sounds more like a cautionary tale for servants if you ask me.
"I'd better not get too attached to this family or they'll stab me in my ear and i'll be stuck to the door for a week."
