Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 Now these [are] the judgments which you will set before them.
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he will serve: and in the seventh he will go out free for nothing.
3 If he came in by himself, he will go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife will go out with him.
4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children will be her master's, and he will go out by himself.
5 And if the servant will plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 Then his master will bring him to the judges; he will also bring him to the door, or to the door post; and his master will bore his ear through with an aul; and he will serve him for ever.
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she will not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then will he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he will have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he have betrothed her to his son, he will deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, will he not diminish.
11 And if he do not these three to her, then will she go out free without money.
12 He that smites a man, so that he die, will be surely put to death.
13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he will flee.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; you will take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 And he that smites his father, or his mother, will be surely put to death.
16 And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he will surely be put to death.
17 And he that curses his father, or his mother, will surely be put to death.
18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keeps [his] bed:
19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then will he that smote [him] be quit: only he will pay [for] the loss of his time, and will cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he will be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he will not be punished: for he [is] his money.
22 If men strive, and hurt a pregnant woman, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he will be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he will pay as the judges [determine].
23 And if [any] mischief follow, then you will give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he will let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he will let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox will be surely stoned, and his flesh will not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [will be] quit.
29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox will be stoned, and his owner also will be put to death.
30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he will give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment will it be done to him.
32 If the ox will push a manservant or a maidservant; he will give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox will be stoned.
33 And if a man will open a pit, or if a man will dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34 The owner of the pit will make [it] good, [and] give money to the owner of them; and the dead [beast] will be his.
35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they will sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead [ox] also they will divide.
36 Or if it be known that the ox has used to push in time past, and his owner has not kept him in; he will surely pay ox for ox; and the dead will be his own.
