Exodus 21

1 “These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:

And these [are] the judgments which you will set before them.

2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.

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.

3 If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.

If with body his he will come with body his he will go out if [is the] husband of a wife he and she will go out wife his with him.

4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

If master his he will give to him a wife and she will bear to him sons or daughters the woman and children her she will belong to master her and he he will go out with body his.

5 But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’

And if carefully he will say the slave I love master my wife my and children my not I will go out a free [person].

6 then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.

And he will bring near him master his to God and he will bring near him to the door or to the doorpost and he will pierce master his ear his with the awl and he will serve him for ever.

7 And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.

And if he will sell a man daughter his to a female slave not she will go out when go out the [male] slaves.

8 If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.

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.

9 And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.

And if for son his he will designate her according to [the] custom of daughters he will do to her.

10 If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.

If another [woman] he will take for himself food her covering her and right to intercourse her not he will reduce.

And if three [things] these not he will do for her and she will go out without paying not money.

12 Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.

[one who] will strike anyone And he will die certainly he will be put to death.

13 If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.

And that not he was lying in wait and God he allowed to happen to hand his and I will designate for you a place where he will flee there.

And if they will quarrel! men and he will strike anyone neighbor his with a stone or with a fist and not he will die and he will fall to a bed.

19 then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.

If he will arise and he will walk about on the outside on staff his and he will be free from guilt the [one who] struck only sitting still his he will pay for and certainly he will have [him] healed.

Nevertheless if a day or two days he will remain not he will be avenged for [is] money his he.

22 If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.

And if they will struggle together men and they will strike a woman pregnant and they will come out children her and not it will be harm certainly he will be fined just as he will impose on him [the] husband of the woman and he will give for [the] estimate.
