Book 02 Exodus Chapter 021

 

021:001Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

 

021:002If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

 

021:003If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

 

021:004If 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.

 

021:005And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my
wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

 

021:006Then 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.

 

021:007And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the menservants do.

 

021:008If 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.

 

021:009And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of daughters.

 

021:010If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her
duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

 

021:011And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out
free without money.

 

021:012He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
death.

 

021:013And 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.

 

021:014But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay
him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he
may die.

 

021:015And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely
put to death.

 

021:016And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found
in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

 

021:017And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be
put to death.

 

021:018And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:

 

021:019If 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.

 

021:020And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

 

021:021Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money.

 

021:022If 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.

 

021:023And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for
life,

 

021:024Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

 

021:025Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

 

021:026And 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.

 

021:027And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his
maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's
sake.

 

021:028If 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.

 

021:029But 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.

 

021:030If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for
the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

 

021:031Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

 

021:032If 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.

 

021:033And 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;

 

021:034The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto
the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

 

021:035And 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.

 

021:036Or 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.
