awl, a boring-instrument used to pierce the ear of a servant choosing permanent service
This rare noun appears only in the laws governing Hebrew servants who choose to remain with their masters permanently. The awl was a sharp pointed tool used to pierce the servant's ear against the doorpost, creating a permanent physical mark of voluntary servitude. Both Exodus and Deuteronomy preserve this striking ritual, where love for one's master transforms legal obligation into lifelong commitment.
