Exodus 21

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

These are the judgments which thou shalt 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 shall he serve thee: 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.

With what raiment he came in, with the like let him go out: if having a wife, his wife also 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.

But if his master gave him a wife, and she hath borne sons and daughters: the woman and her children shall be her master’s: but he himself shall go out with his raiment.

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].

And if the servant shall say: I love my master and my wife and children, 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.

His master shall bring him to the gods, and he shall be set to the door and the posts, and he shall bore his ear through with an awl: and he shall be his servant for ever.

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.

If any man sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as bondwomen are wont to go out.

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 displease the eyes of her master to whom she was delivered, he shall let her go: but he shall have no power to sell her to a foreign nation, if he despise her.

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

But if he have betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after 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.

And if he take another wife for him, he shall provide her a marriage, and raiment, neither shall he refuse the price of her chastity.

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

If he do not these three things, she shall go out free without money.

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

He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall 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.

But he that did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands: I will appoint thee a place to which he must 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.

If a man kill his neighbour on set purpose and by lying in wait for him: thou shalt take him away from my altar, that he may die.

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

He that striketh his father or mother, shall 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.

He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.

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

He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the 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.

If men quarrel, and the one strike his neighbour with a stone or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth 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 rise again and walk abroad upon his staff, he that struck him shall be quit, yet so that he make restitution for his work, and for his expenses upon the physicians.

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.

He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.

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

But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.

22 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.

If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award.

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

But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render 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.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 Burning in place of burning bruise in place of bruise wound in place of wound.

Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

26 And if he will strike anyone [the] eye of [male] slave his or [the] eye of female slave his and he will destroy it to free [person] he will set free him in place of eye his.

If any man strike the eye of his manservant or maidservant, and leave them but one eye, he shall let them go free for the eye which he put out.

27 And if [the] tooth of [male] slave his or [the] tooth of female slave his he will knock out to free [person] he will set free him in place of tooth his.

Also if he strike out a tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he shall in like manner make them free.

28 And if it will gore an ox a man or a woman and he will die certainly it will be stoned to death the ox and not it will be eaten meat its and [the] owner of the ox [will be] free from guilt.

If an ox gore a man or a woman, and they die, he shall be stoned: and his flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

29 And if [will be] an ox prone to gore it from yesterday three days ago and it has been protested on owner its and not he will guard it and it will kill a man or a woman the ox it will be stoned to death and also owner its he will be put to death.

But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday and the day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, an his owner also shall be put to death.

30 If a ransom it will be imposed on him and he will give [the] ransom of life his according to all that it will be imposed on him.

And if they set a price upon him, he shall give for his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

31 Or a son it will gore or a daughter it will gore according to the judgment this it will be done to him.

If he have gored a son, or a daughter, he shall fall under the like sentence.

32 If a [male] slave it will gore the ox or a female slave silver - thirty shekels he will give to master his and the ox it will be stoned to death.

If he assault a bondman or a bond woman, he shall give thirty sicles of silver to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 And if he will open anyone a pit or for he will dig anyone a pit and not he will cover it and it will fall there an ox or a donkey.

If a man open a pit, and dig one, and cover it not, and an ox or an ass fall into it,

34 [the] owner of The pit he will make compensation silver he will repay to owner its and the dead [animal] it will be[long] to him.

The owner of the pit shall pay the price of the beasts: and that which is dead shall be his own.

35 And if it will strike [the] ox of anyone [the] ox of neighbor his and it will die and they will sell the ox living and they will divide silver its and also the dead [animal] they will divide!

If one man’s ox gore another man’s ox, and he die: they shall sell the live ox, and shall divide the price, and the carcass of that which died they shall part between them:

36 Or it is known that [is] an ox prone to gore it from yesterday three days ago and not he guarded it owner its certainly he will make compensation an ox in place of the ox and the dead [animal] it will be[long] to him.

But if he knew that his ox was wont to push yesterday and the day before, and his master did not keep him in: he shall pay ox for ox, and shall take the whole carcass.
