1
Now these are the judgments[H4941] which thou shalt set[H7760]before[H6440] them.
2
If thou buy[H7069] an Hebrew[H5680]servant[H5650], six[H8337]years[H8141] he shall serve[H5647]: and in the seventh[H7637] he shall go out[H3318]free[H2670] for nothing[H2600].
3
If he came in[H935] by himself[H1610], he shall go out[H3318] by himself[H1610]: if he were married[H1167], then his wife[H802] shall go out[H3318] with him.
4
If his master[H113] have given[H5414] him a wife[H802], and she have born[H3205] him sons[H1121] or daughters[H1323]; the wife[H802] and her children[H3206] shall be her master[H113]'s, and he shall go out[H3318] by himself[H1610].
5
And if the servant[H5650] shall plainly[H559]say[H559], I love[H157] my master[H113], my wife[H802], and my children[H1121]; I will not go out[H3318]free[H2670]:
6
Then his master[H113] shall bring[H5066] him unto the judges[H430]; he shall also bring[H5066] him to the door[H1817], or unto the door[H1817]post[H4201]; and his master[H113] shall bore[H7527] his ear[H241] through with an aul[H4836]; and he shall serve[H5647] him for ever[H5769].
7
And if a man[H376]sell[H4376] his daughter[H1323] to be a maidservant[H519], she shall not go out[H3318] as the menservants[H5650]do[H3318].
8
If she please[H7451] not her master[H113], who hath betrothed[H3259] her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed[H6299]: to sell[H4376] her unto a strange[H5237]nation[H5971] he shall have no power[H4910], seeing he hath dealt deceitfully[H898] with her.
9
And if he have betrothed[H3259] her unto his son[H1121], he shall deal[H6213] with her after the manner[H4941] of daughters[H1323].
10
If he take[H3947] him another[H312] wife; her food[H7607], her raiment[H3682], and her duty of marriage[H5772], shall he not diminish[H1639].
11
And if he do[H6213] not these three[H7969] unto her, then shall she go out[H3318]free[H2600] without money[H3701].
12
He that smiteth[H5221] a man[H376], so that he die[H4191], shall be surely[H4191] put to death[H4191].
13
And if a man lie not in wait[H6658], but God[H430]deliver[H579] him into his hand[H3027]; then I will appoint[H7760] thee a place[H4725] whither he shall flee[H5127].
14
But if a man[H376] come presumptuously[H2102] upon his neighbour[H7453], to slay[H2026] him with guile[H6195]; thou shalt take[H3947] him from mine altar[H4196], that he may die[H4191].
15
And he that smiteth[H5221] his father[H1], or his mother[H517], shall be surely[H4191] put to death[H4191].
16
And he that stealeth[H1589] a man[H376], and selleth[H4376] him, or if he be found[H4672] in his hand[H3027], he shall surely[H4191] be put to death[H4191].
17
And he that curseth[H7043] his father[H1], or his mother[H517], shall surely[H4191] be put to death[H4191].
18
And if men[H582]strive[H7378] together, and one[H376]smite[H5221]another[H7453] with a stone[H68], or[H176] with his fist[H106], and he die[H4191] not, but keepeth[H5307] his bed[H4904]:
19
If he rise again[H6965], and walk[H1980]abroad[H2351] upon his staff[H4938], then shall he that smote[H5221] him be quit[H5352]: only he shall pay[H5414] for the loss of his time[H7674], and shall cause him to be thoroughly[H7495]healed[H7495].
20
And if a man[H376]smite[H5221] his servant[H5650], or his maid[H519], with a rod[H7626], and he die[H4191] under his hand[H3027]; he shall be surely[H5358]punished[H5358].
21Notwithstanding[H389], if he continue[H5975] a day[H3117] or two[H8147], he shall not be punished[H5358]: for he is his money[H3701].
22
If men[H582]strive[H5327], and hurt[H5062] a woman[H802] with child[H2030], so that her fruit[H3206]depart[H3318] from her, and yet no mischief follow[H611]: he shall be surely[H6064]punished[H6064], according as the woman[H802]'s husband[H1167] will lay[H7896] upon him; and he shall pay[H5414] as the judges[H6414] determine.
23
And if any mischief follow[H611], then thou shalt give[H5414]life[H5315] for life[H5315],
24Eye[H5869] for eye[H5869], tooth[H8127] for tooth[H8127], hand[H3027] for hand[H3027], foot[H7272] for foot[H7272],
25Burning[H3555] for burning[H3555], wound[H6482] for wound[H6482], stripe[H2250] for stripe[H2250].
26
And if a man[H376]smite[H5221] the eye[H5869] of his servant[H5650], or the eye[H5869] of his maid[H519], that it perish[H7843]; he shall let him go[H7971]free[H2670]for[H8478] his eye[H5869]'s sake.
27
And if he smite[H5307] out his manservant's tooth[H8127], or his maidservant's tooth[H8127]; he shall let him go[H7971]free[H2670] for his tooth[H8127]'s sake.
28
If an ox[H7794]gore[H5055] a man[H376] or a woman[H802], that they die[H4191]: then the ox[H7794] shall be surely[H5619]stoned[H5619], and his flesh[H1320] shall not be eaten[H398]; but the owner[H1167] of the ox[H7794] shall be quit[H5355].
29
But if the ox[H7794] were wont to push with his horn[H5056] in time past[H8543], and it hath been testified[H5749] to his owner[H1167], and he hath not kept[H8104] him in, but that he hath killed[H4191] a man[H376] or a woman[H802]; the ox[H7794] shall be stoned[H5619], and his owner[H1167] also shall be put to death[H4191].
30
If there be laid[H7896] on him a sum of money[H3724], then he shall give[H5414] for the ransom[H6306] of his life[H5315] whatsoever is laid[H7896] upon him.
31
Whether he have gored[H5055] a son[H1121], or[H176] have gored[H5055] a daughter[H1323], according to this judgment[H4941] shall it be done[H6213] unto him.
32
If the ox[H7794] shall push[H5055] a manservant[H5650] or a maidservant[H519]; he shall give[H5414] unto their master[H113]thirty[H7970]shekels[H8255] of silver[H3701], and the ox[H7794] shall be stoned[H5619].
33
And if a man[H376] shall open[H6605] a pit[H953], or if a man[H376] shall dig[H3738] a pit[H953], and not cover[H3680] it, and an ox[H7794] or an ass[H2543]fall[H5307] therein;
34
The owner[H1167] of the pit[H953] shall make it good[H7999], and give[H7725]money[H3701] unto the owner[H1167] of them; and the dead[H4191] beast shall be his.
35
And if one man's ox[H7794]hurt[H5062] another's, that he die[H4191]; then they shall sell[H4376] the live[H2416]ox[H7794], and divide[H2673] the money[H3701] of it; and the dead[H4191]ox[H7794] also they shall divide[H2673].
36
Or if it be known[H3045] that the ox[H7794] hath used to push[H5056] in time past[H8543], and his owner[H1167] hath not kept[H8104] him in; he shall surely[H7999]pay[H7999]ox[H7794] for ox[H7794]; and the dead[H4191] shall be his own.
