Torah Temimah points to Bava Kama 28a (TT note on “לָשׁוּב”).
E-Daf — Bava Kama 28a · Sefaria
English: It was taught: From where [do we know] that a bored [Hebrew slave] whose term has ended, and his master presses him to leave, and he [the master] wounded him and made a bruise — that he is exempt? From “you shall not take ransom to return” — and [likewise] you shall not take ransom for one who is to return.
Extension of the no-ransom principle to the case of a released slave pressed to leave.
The verse’s language is used to exempt a master who injures a slave whose term has already expired when the master is forcing the departure.
