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

Now these are the ordinances which thou shall set before them.

2 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.

If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

3 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.

If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 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.

If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her sons shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5 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].

But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons, I will not go out free,

6 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.

then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

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

And if a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.

8 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.

If she does not please her master, who has espoused her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no power to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

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

And if he espouses her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.

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

If he takes him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.

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

And if he does not do these three things to her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.

He who smites a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.

13 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 a man does not lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand, then I will appoint for thee a place where he shall flee.

14 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.

And if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to kill him with guile, thou shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

And he who smites his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

16 And [one who] will steal anyone and he will sell him and he will be found in hand his certainly he will be put to death.

And he who steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17 And [one who] will curse father his and mother his certainly he will be put to death.

And he who curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

18 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.

And if men contend, and one smites the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he does not die, but keeps his bed,

19 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.

if he rises again, and walks abroad upon his staff, then he who smote him shall be acquitted. Only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

20 And if he will strike anyone [male] slave his or female slave his with the rod and he will die under hand his certainly he will be avenged.

23 And if harm it will be and you will give a life in place of a life.

But if any harm follows, then thou shall give life for life,

24 An eye in place of an eye a tooth in place of a tooth a hand in place of a hand a foot in place of a foot.
