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 However, if the slave formally states, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to be freed,’
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 take him before the judges. Then he shall have him stand against the door or doorpost and use a metal tool to make a hole in his ear. Then he shall work for 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 If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be freed in the same way as male slaves.
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 the man who chose her for himself is not pleased with her, he must let her be bought back. He is not permitted to sell her to foreigners, since he has been unfair to 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 If he chooses to give her to his son, he must treat her as a daughter.

13 However, if it wasn't intentional and God let it happen, then I will arrange a place for you where they can run to and be safe.
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.

19 and then gets up and walks around outside with his walking stick, then the one who hit him won't be punished, Even so, he must still compensate the man for the time lost from his work and make sure that he's 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.
20 Anyone who hits their male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies as a result, must be punished.
