Now these are the judgments
which thou shalt set
before
them.
If thou buy
an Hebrew
servant,
six
years
he shall serve:
and in the seventh
he shall go out
free
for nothing.
If he came in
by himself,
he shall go out
by himself:
if he were married,
then his wife
shall go out
with him.
If his master
have given
him a wife,
and she have born
him sons
or daughters;
the wife
and her children
shall be her master's,
and he shall go out
by himself.
And if the servant
shall plainly
say,
I love
my master,
my wife,
and my children;
I will not go out
free:
Then his master
shall bring
him unto the judges;
he shall also bring
him to the door,
or unto the door post;
and his master
shall bore
his ear
through with an aul;
and he shall serve
him for ever.

And if a man
sell
his daughter
to be a maidservant,
she shall not go out
as the menservants
do.
If she please
not her master,
who hath betrothed
her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed:
to sell
her unto a strange
nation
he shall have no power,
seeing he hath dealt deceitfully
with her.

And if he have betrothed
her unto his son,
he shall deal
with her after the manner
of daughters.
If he take
him another
wife; her food,
her raiment,
and her duty of marriage,
shall he not diminish.
And if he do
not these three
unto her, then shall she go out
free
without money.
He that smiteth
a man,
so that he die,
shall be surely
put to death.
And if a man lie not in wait,
but God
deliver
him into his hand;
then I will appoint
thee a place
whither he shall flee.
But if a man
come presumptuously
upon his neighbour,
to slay
him with guile;
thou shalt take
him from mine 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 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
strive
together, and one
smite
another
with a stone,
or
with his fist,
and he die
not, but keepeth
his bed:
If he 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
smite
his servant,
or his maid,
with a rod,
and he die
under his hand;
he shall be surely
punished.
Notwithstanding,
if he continue
a day
or two,
he shall not be punished:
for he is his money.
If men
strive,
and hurt
a woman
with child,
so that her fruit
depart
from her, and yet no mischief follow:
he shall be surely
punished,
according as the woman's
husband
will lay
upon him; and he shall pay
as the judges
determine.

Eye

Burning

And if a man
smite
the eye
of his servant,
or the eye
of his maid,
that it perish;
he shall let him go
free
for
his eye's
sake.

And if he smite
out his manservant's
tooth,
or his maidservant's
tooth;
he shall let him go
free
for his tooth's
sake.
If an ox
gore
a man
or a woman,
that they die:
then the ox
shall be surely
stoned,
and his flesh
shall not be eaten;
but the owner
of the ox
shall be quit.
gore
κερατίσῃ

But if the ox
were wont to push with his horn
in time past,
and it hath been testified
to his owner,
and he hath not kept
him in, but that he hath killed
a man
or a woman;
the ox
shall be stoned,
and his owner
also shall be put to death.

If there be laid
on him a sum of money,
then he shall give
for the ransom
of his life
whatsoever is laid
upon him.
Whether he have gored
a son,
or
have gored
a daughter,
according to this judgment
shall it be done
unto him.
If the ox
shall push
a manservant
or a maidservant;
he shall give
unto their master
thirty
shekels
of silver,
and the ox
shall be stoned.
gore
κερατίσῃ

And if a man
shall open
a pit,
or if a man
shall dig
a pit,
and not cover
it, and an ox
or an ass
fall
therein;
The owner
of the pit
shall make it good,
and give
money
unto the owner
of them; and the dead
beast shall be his.
And if one man's
ox
hurt
another's,
that he die;
then they shall sell
the live
ox,
and divide
the money
of it; and the dead
ox also they shall divide.
gore
κερατίσῃ
keratisē
Or if it be known
that the ox
hath used to push
in time past,
and his owner
hath not kept
him in; he shall surely
pay
ox
for ox;
and the dead
shall be his own.
