Exodus 21:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 "These are the decisions that you will set before them:
2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he will go out free without paying anything.
3 If he came in by himself he will go out by himself; if he had a wife when he came in, then his wife will go out with him.
4 If his master gave him a wife, and she bore sons or daughters, the wife and the children will belong to her master, and he will go out by himself.
5 But if the servant should declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,'
6 then his master must bring him to the judges, and he will bring him to the door or the doorposts, and his master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
7 "If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she will not go out as the male servants do.
8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to a foreign nation, because he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 If he designated her for his son, then he will deal with her according to the customary rights of daughters.
10 If he takes another wife, he must not diminish the first one's food, her clothing, or her marital rights.
11 If he does not provide her with these three things, then she will go out free, without paying money.
12 "Whoever strikes someone so that he dies must surely be put to death.
13 But if he does not do it with premeditation, but it happens by accident, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14 But if a man willfully attacks his neighbor to kill him cunningly, you will take him even from my altar that he may die.
15 "Whoever strikes his father or his mother must surely be put to death.
16 "Whoever kidnaps someone and sells him, or is caught still holding him, must surely be put to death.
17 "Whoever treats his father or his mother disgracefully must surely be put to death.
18 "If men fight, and one strikes his neighbor with a stone or with his fist and he does not die, but must remain in bed,
19 and then if he gets up and walks about outside on his staff, then the one who struck him is innocent, except he must pay for the injured person's loss of time and see to it that he is fully healed.
20 "If a man strikes his male servant or his female servant with a staff so that he or she dies as a result of the blow, he will surely be punished.
21 However, if the injured servant survives one or two days, the owner will not be punished, for he has suffered the loss.
22 "If men fight and hit a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no serious injury, he will surely be punished in accordance with what the woman's husband demands of him, and he will pay what the court decides.
23 But if there is serious injury, then you will give a life for a life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
26 "If a man strikes the eye of his male servant or his female servant so that he destroys it, he will let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.
27 If he knocks out the tooth of his male servant or his female servant, he will let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
28 "If an ox gores a man or a woman so that either dies, then the ox must surely be stoned and its flesh must not be eaten, but the owner of the ox will be acquitted.
29 But if the ox had the habit of goring, and its owner was warned, and he did not take the necessary precautions, and then it killed a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned and the man must be put to death.
30 If a ransom is set for him, then he must pay the redemption for his life according to whatever amount was set for him.
31 If the ox gores a son or a daughter, the owner will be dealt with according to this rule.
32 If the ox gores a male servant or a female servant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.
33 "If a man opens a pit or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34 the owner of the pit must repay the loss. He must give money to its owner, and the dead animal will become his.
35 If the ox of one man injures the ox of his neighbor so that it dies, then they will sell the live ox and divide its proceeds, and they will also divide the dead ox.
36 Or if it is known that the ox had the habit of goring, and its owner did not take the necessary precautions, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will become his.
1 Now these H428 W-PMP are the judgments H4941 which H834 RPRO thou shalt set H7760 VQY2MS before H6440 them .

8 If H518 PART she please not H7451 AFS her master H113 , who H834 RPRO hath betrothed H3259 her to himself , then shall he let her be redeemed H6299 : to sell H4376 her unto a strange H5237 AMS nation H5971 he shall have no H3808 ADV power H4910 , seeing he hath dealt deceitfully H898 with her .

11 And if H518 W-PART he do H6213 VQY3MS not H3808 NADV these H428 PMP three H7969 unto her , then shall she go out H3318 free H2600 ADV without H369 NPAR money H3701 NMS .
12 He that smiteth H5221 a man H376 NMS , so that he die H4191 , shall be surely put to death H4191 VQFA .
13 And if H834 RPRO a man lie not in wait H6658 , but God H430 deliver H579 him into his hand H3027 ; then I will appoint H7760 W-VQQ1MS thee a place H4725 NUM-MS whither H834 RPRO he shall flee H5127 .
14 But if H3588 W-CONJ a man H376 NMS come presumptuously H2102 upon H5921 PREP his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS , to slay H2026 him with guile H6195 ; thou shalt take H3947 VQY2MS-3MS him from M-PREP mine altar H4196 , that he may die H4191 .
15 And he that smiteth H5221 his father H1 CMS-3MS , or his mother H517 , shall be surely put to death H4191 VQFA .

19 If H518 PART he rise again H6965 VQY3MS , and walk H1980 abroad H2351 BD-NMS upon H5921 PREP his staff H4938 , then shall he that smote H5221 him be quit H5352 : only H7535 ADV he shall pay H5414 VHFA for the loss of his time H7674 , and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed H7495 .
20 And if H3588 a man H376 NMS smite H5221 his servant H5650 , or H176 CONJ his maid H519 , with a rod H7626 , and he die H4191 under H8478 NMS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS ; he shall be surely punished H5358 .
21 Notwithstanding H389 ADV , if H518 PART he continue H5975 VQY3MS a day H3117 NMS or H176 CONJ two H3117 NUM-MS , he shall not H3808 NADV be punished H5358 VOY3MS : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is his money H3701 .
22 If H3588 men H376 strive H5327 , and hurt H5062 a woman H802 NFS with child H2030 , so that her fruit H3206 depart H3318 from her , and yet no H3808 W-NPAR mischief H611 follow H1961 VQY3MS : he shall be surely punished H6064 , according as H834 K-RPRO the woman H802 D-NFS \'s husband H1167 CMS will lay H7896 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP-3MS him ; and he shall pay H5414 W-VQQ3MS as the judges H6414 determine .

30 If H518 PART there be laid H7896 on H5921 PREP-3MS him a sum of money H3724 NMS , then he shall give H5414 W-VQQ3MS for the ransom H6306 of his life H5315 NMS-3MS whatsoever H3605 K-NMS is laid H7896 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him .
