Exegesis
The Piel imperfect təšallēḥennū {תְּשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ | tə·šal·le·ḥe·nnū} issues the release command, reinforced by the adjective ḥāpšî {חָפְשִׁי | ḥā·pə·šî}, and the prepositional phrase mēʿimməḵā {מֵעִמָּךְ | mē·ʿim·mā·ḵa} specifies the origin of departure.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:12
If your brother the Hebrew man or the Hebrew woman is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall send him away free from you .
