21"Now these are the rules that you shall set before them.H4941H7760H6440

2When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.H7069H5680H5650H8337H8141H5647H7637H3318H2670H2600

3If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.H935H1610H3318H1610H1167H802H802H3318

4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.H113H5414H802H3205H1121H1323H802H3206H113H3318H1610

5But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,'H5650H559H559H157H113H802H1121H3318H2670

6then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.H113H5066H430H5066H1817H4201H113H7527H241H4836H5647H5769

7"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.H376H4376H1323H519H3318H5650H3318

8If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.H7451H5869H113H3259H6299H4376H5237H5971H4910H898

9If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.H3259H1121H6213H4941H1323

10If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights.H3947H312H7607H3682H5772H1639

11And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.H6213H7969H3318H2600H3701

12"Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.H5221H376H4191H4191H4191

14But if a man willfully attacks another to kill him by cunning, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.H376H2102H7453H2026H6195H3947H4196H4191

15"Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.H5221H1H517H4191H4191

17"Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death.H7043H1H517H4191H4191

18"When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does not die but takes to his bed,H582H7378H376H5221H7453H68H176H106H4191H5307H4904

19then if the man rises again and walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed.H6965H1980H2351H4938H5221H5352H5414H7674H7495H7495

20"When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged.H376H5221H5650H519H7626H4191H3027H5358H5358

21But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.H389H5975H3117H8147H5358H3701

22"When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine.H582H5327H5062H802H2030H3206H3318H611H6064H6064H802H1167H7896H5414H6414

23But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life,H611H5414H5315H5315

27If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth.H5307H5650H8127H519H8127H7971H2670H8127

28"When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall not be liable.H7794H5055H376H802H4191H7794H5619H5619H1320H398H1167H7794H5355

29But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.H7794H5056H8543H8032H5749H1167H8104H4191H376H802H7794H5619H1167H4191

30If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed on him.H7896H3724H5414H6306H5315H7896

31If it gores a man's son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule.H5055H1121H176H5055H1323H4941H6213

32If the ox gores a slave, male or female, the owner shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.H7794H5055H5650H519H5414H113H7970H8255H3701H7794H5619

33"When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,H376H6605H953H376H3738H953H3680H7794H2543H5307

34the owner of the pit shall make restoration. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead beast shall be his.H1167H953H7999H7725H3701H1167H4191

35"When one man's ox butts another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and share its price, and the dead beast also they shall share.H376H7794H5062H7453H4191H4376H2416H7794H2673H3701H4191H2673

36Or if it is known that the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall repay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his.H3045H7794H5056H8543H8032H1167H8104H7999H7999H7794H7794H4191
