1 De Lovbud, du skal forelægge dem, er følgende:
And these [are] the judgments which you will set before them.
2 Naar du køber dig en hebræisk Træl, skal han trælle i seks Aar, men i det syvende skal han frigives uden Vederlag.
For you will buy a slave Hebrew six years he will serve and in the seventh [year] he will go out to free [person] without paying.

8 Dersom hun paadrager sig sin Herres Mishag, efter at han har haft Omgang med hende, skal han tillade, at hun købes fri; han har ikke Lov at sælge hende til fremmede Folk, naar han har gjort Uret imod hende;
If she is bad in [the] eyes of master her who (for himself *Q(K)*) he designated her and he will let be ransomed her to a people foreign not he will have dominion to sell her because has dealt treacherously he with her.
