< Exodus 21 >

1 And these are the laws of justice which thou shalt set before them.
And these [are] the judgments which you will set before them.
2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
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 came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he was the husband of a woman, then shall his wife go out 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 should give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters: the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.
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 And if the servant should plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out 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 shall his master bring him unto the judges, and he shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him till the jubilee.
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 sell his daughter for a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants go out.
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 please not her master, to whom he hath assigned her, then shall he aid her to be redeemed: unto a strange nation he shall have no power to sell her, seeing he hath dealt faithlessly 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 should assign her unto his son, then shall he do unto her after the right of the daughters.
And if for son his he will designate her according to [the] custom of daughters he will do to her.
10 If he take himself another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
If another [woman] he will take for himself food her covering her and right to intercourse her not he will reduce.
11 And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free, without money.
And if three [things] these not he will do for her and she will go out without paying not money.

[one who] will strike anyone And he will die certainly he will be put to death.
13 And if he did not lie in wait, but God let it come into his hand, then will I appoint thee a place whither he shall 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.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile, from my altar shalt thou take him, that he may die.
And if he will act presumptuously anyone on neighbor his to kill him with cunning from with altar my you will take him to die.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his crutch, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly 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.
