Exodus 21

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

And these [are] the judgments which you 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.

When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves [for] six years, and in the seventh he goes out as a freeman 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 goes out by himself; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife has gone 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 lord gives a wife to him, and she has borne sons or daughters to him—the wife and her children are her lord’s, and he goes 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].

And if the servant really says: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do 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 lord has brought him near to God, and has brought him near to the door, or to the doorpost, and his lord has bored his ear with an awl, and he has served him for all time.

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 when a man sells his daughter for a handmaid, she does not go out according to the going out of the menservants;

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 [it is] evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he has not betrothed her, then he has let her be ransomed; he has no power to sell her to a strange people, in his dealing treacherously 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 betroths her to his son, he does to her according to the right 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 another [woman] for him, he does not withdraw her food, her covering, and her habitation;

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 for her, then she has gone out for nothing, without money.

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

He who strikes a man so that he has died is certainly 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.

as for him who has not laid wait, but God has brought [him] to his hand, I have even set a place for you to where he flees.

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 when a man presumes against his neighbor to slay him with subtlety, you take him from My altar to die.

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

And he who strikes his father or his mother is certainly 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 has sold him, and he has been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.

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

And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly 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 when men contend, and a man has struck his neighbor with a stone, or with the fist, and he does not die, but has fallen on the 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, and has gone up and down outside on his staff, then the striker has been acquitted; he only gives [for] his cessation, and he is 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.

And when a man strikes his manservant or his handmaid with a rod, and he has died under his hand—he is certainly avenged;

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

only if he remains a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [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.

And when men strive, and have struck a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no harm [to them], he is certainly fined as the husband of the woman lays on him, and he has given through the judges;

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

and if there is harm [to them], then you have given 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.

And when a man strikes the eye of his manservant, or the eye of his handmaid, and has destroyed it, he sends him away as a freeman for his eye;

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.

and if he knocks out a tooth of his manservant or a tooth of his handmaid, he sends him away as a freeman for his tooth.

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.

And when an ox gores man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted;

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.

and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and it has been testified to its owner, and he does not watch it, and it has put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner is also 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.

If atonement is laid on him, then he has given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid on 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.

whether it gores a son or gores a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him.

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 the ox gores a manservant or a handmaid, he gives thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox is 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.

And when a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey has fallen [in] there—

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 repays, he gives back money to its owner, and the dead is his.

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!

And when a man’s ox strikes the ox of his neighbor and it has died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and they also halve the dead one;

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.

or, [if] it has been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore before, and its owner does not watch it, he certainly repays ox for ox, and the dead is his.
