Exodus 21

1 'And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before them:

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

2 'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant — six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought;

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 by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he [is] owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone 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 lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters — the wife and her children are her lord's, and he goeth 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 really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons — I do 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 hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him — to the age.

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 when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants;

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 evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously 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 to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.

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

10 'If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;

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

11 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.

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

12 'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;

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

13 as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth 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 'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to 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 who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death.

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

16 'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death.

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.

17 'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.

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

18 'And when men contend, and a man hath smitten his neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but hath fallen on the bed;

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.

19 if he rise, and hath gone up and down without on his staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation he giveth, and he is 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.

20 'And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand — he is certainly avenged;

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.

21 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he [is] his money.

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

22 'And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him, and he hath given through the judges;

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.

23 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for life,

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

24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

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.

25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

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

26 'And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye;

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.

27 and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for his tooth.

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.

28 'And when an ox doth gore 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;

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.

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

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.

30 'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him;

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.

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

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

32 'If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned.

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.

33 'And when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen thither, —

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.

34 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his.

[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.

35 'And when a man's ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour, and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and also the dead one they do halve;

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!

36 or, it hath been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his.

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.
