Exodus - ch 21 v 1 - 20
- Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
- If thou shalt buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
- If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
- If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart by himself.
- And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free:
- Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door-post: and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
- And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
- If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
- And if he hath betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
- If he shall take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.
- And if he shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart free without money.
- He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall be surely put to death.
- And if a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
- But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar, that he may die.
- And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
- And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
- And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
- And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he shall not die, but keep his bed:
- If he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
- And if a man shall smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
