Exodus 21

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

“Now these are the decrees that you must 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 you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve for six years, and in the seventh year he will go free without paying anything.

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 came by himself, he must go free by himself; if he is married, then his wife must go free 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 gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and he must go free 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 plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my 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.

then his master must bring him to God. The master must bring him to a door or doorpost, and his master must bore his ear through with an awl. Then the servant will serve him for life.

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 a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she must not go free as the male 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 designated her for himself, then he must let her be bought back. He has no right to sell her to a foreign people. He has no such right, since he has treated her deceitfully.

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

If her master designates her as a wife for his son, he must treat her the same as if she were his daughter.

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 wife for himself, he must not diminish her food, clothing, or her marital rights.

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

But if he does not provide these three things for her, then she can go free without paying any money.

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

Whoever strikes a man so that he dies, that person must 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.

If the man did not do it with premeditation, but instead by accident, then I will fix a place to where he can 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 willfully attacks his neighbor and kills him according to a cunning plan, then you must take him, even if he is at God's altar, so that he may die.

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

Whoever hits his father or mother must 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.

Whoever kidnaps a person—whether the kidnapper sells him, or that person is found in his hand—that kidnapper must be put to death.

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

Whoever curses his father or his mother must 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.

If men fight and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist, and that person does not die, but is confined to 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.

then if he recovers and is able to walk about using his staff, the man who struck him must pay for the loss of his time; he must also pay for his complete recovery. But that man is not guilty of murder.

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.

If a man hits his male servant or his female servant with a staff, and if the servant dies as a result of the blow, then that man must surely be punished.

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

However, if the servant lives for a day or two, the master must not be punished, for he will have suffered the loss of the servant.

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 fight together and hurt a pregnant woman so that she miscarries, but there is no other injury to her, then the guilty man must surely be fined as the woman's husband demands it from him, and he must pay as the judges determine.

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

But if there is serious injury, then you must give a life for a 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.

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,

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

a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, or a bruise for a bruise.

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 a man hits the eye of his male servant or of his female servant and destroys it, then he must let the servant go free in compensation 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.

If he knocks out a tooth of his male servant or female servant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the 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.

If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its flesh must not be eaten; but the ox's owner must be acquitted of guilt.

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 had a habit of goring in the past, and its owner was warned but did not keep it in, and the ox has killed a man or a woman, that ox must be stoned, and its owner also must 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.

If a payment is required for his life, he must pay whatever he is required to pay.

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 the ox has gored a man's son or daughter, the ox's owner must do what this decree requires him to do.

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 male servant or a female servant, the ox's owner must pay thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must 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 opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls 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 must repay the loss. He must give money to the dead animal's owner, and the dead animal will become 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!

If one man's ox hurts another man's ox so that it dies, then they must sell the live ox and divide its price, and they must also divide the dead ox.

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 it was known that the ox had a habit of goring in time past, and its owner has not kept it in, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will become his own.
