These are the laws you are to set before them.

Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he shall go free, without any payment.

If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

If he comes alone, he shall go out alone; but if he is married, then his wife shall leave with him.

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 gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself.

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.

But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I do not want to go free,’

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 before God. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

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.

If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do.

And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He does not have the right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.

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.

If he designates her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

If he takes another wife, he must not diminish her food, clothing, or marital rights.

If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

If he does not provide these three things for her, she is to go free, without any payment.

And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death.

He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

But if he did not intend to kill, and it was allowed by God to happen, then I will provide a place where he can flee.

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.

However, if someone schemes and acts deliberately to kill his neighbor, you shall take him even from my altar to be put to death.

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.

Anyone who strikes his father or mother shall surely be put to death.

And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Anyone who kidnaps another person, whether he sells him or the victim is still in his possession, shall surely be 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.

Anyone who curses his father or mother shall surely be put to death.

And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,

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 the injured man is able to get up and walk around outside with a staff, the one who struck him shall be acquitted. Nevertheless, he must pay for the time lost and ensure the injured man is completely healed.

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.

If a man strikes his male or female servant with a rod, and the servant dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

However, if the servant survives for a day or two, the man shall not be punished, because the servant is his property.

Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

If men are fighting and they strike a pregnant woman, causing her to give birth prematurely but there is no further injury, the offender must pay whatever the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

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.

But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life,

And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant and destroys it, he must let the servant go free in compensation for the eye.

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 knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he must let the servant go free in compensation for the tooth.

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 gores a man or woman to death, the ox must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox will not be held liable.

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.

But if the ox has a habit of goring, and it has been known to its owner for some time but he has not kept it confined, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned, and its owner must also be put to death.

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.

However, if a ransom is imposed on him, he must pay whatever is demanded for the redemption of his life.

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 it gores a son or a daughter, the same judgment applies to 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 gores a male or female servant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the servant, and the ox must be stoned.

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.

If a man opens a pit or if he digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

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 must pay compensation; he must pay the owner of the animal, and the dead animal will become his.

The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

If one man’s ox injures another’s ox so that it dies, they are to sell the live ox and divide the money, and they must also divide the dead animal.

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.

However, if it was known that the ox was prone to goring in the past and its owner did not keep it confined, he must pay compensation—an ox for an ox—and the dead animal will be his.

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.

If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must repay five cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.
