Exodus - ch 21 v 1 - 20

  1. `And these `are' the judgments which thou dost 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;
  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;
  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.
  5. `And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons -- I do not go out free;
  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.
  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;
  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.
  9. `And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.
  10. `If another `woman' he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;
  11. and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
  12. `He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly 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.
  14. `And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.
  15. `And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly 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.
  17. `And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly 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;
  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.
  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;
