Under the levitical law if a slave was freed but freely chose to remain with his master and 'freely' serve him then the master was to take him to the door post and pierce his ear with an awl in the presence of the leaders. He then became a 'bondservant' one who has the choice but freely chooses to serve His master  -oh God i am crying now. I believe that this is the inspiration behind ur song keita and it is thoroughly biblical. Exd 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever. |

Here is the entire scripture:
21:1 ΒΆ Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exd 21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Exd 21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exd 21:4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
Exd 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
Exd 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
