Now these are the judgmentsH4941 which thou shalt setH7760 beforeH6440 them.
If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.
If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH1167+H802, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him. {by himself: Heb. with his body}
If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master'sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610.
And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not go outH3318 freeH2670: {shall…: Heb. saying shall say}
Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
And if a manH376 sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a maidservantH519, she shall not go outH3318 as the menservantsH5650 doH3318.
If she pleaseH7451+H5869 not her masterH113, who hath betrothedH3259 her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemedH6299: to sellH4376 her unto a strangeH5237 nationH5971 he shall have no powerH4910, seeing he hath dealt deceitfullyH898 with her. {please…: Heb. be evil in the eyes of, etc}
And if he have betrothedH3259 her unto his sonH1121, he shall dealH6213 with her after the mannerH4941 of daughtersH1323.
If he takeH3947 him anotherH312 wife; her foodH7607, her raimentH3682, and her duty of marriageH5772, shall he not diminishH1639.
And if he doH6213 not these threeH7969 unto her, then shall she go outH3318 freeH2600 without moneyH3701.
He that smitethH5221 a manH376, so that he dieH4191, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.
And if a man lie not in waitH6658, but GodH430 deliverH579 him into his handH3027; then I will appointH7760 thee a placeH4725 whither he shall fleeH5127.
But if a manH376 come presumptuouslyH2102 upon his neighbourH7453, to slayH2026 him with guileH6195; thou shalt takeH3947 him from mine altarH4196, that he may dieH4191.
And he that smitethH5221 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.
And he that stealethH1589 a manH376, and sellethH4376 him, or if he be foundH4672 in his handH3027, he shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And he that cursethH7043 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {curseth: or, revileth}
And if menH582 striveH7378 together, and oneH376 smiteH5221 anotherH7453 with a stoneH68, orH176 with his fistH106, and he dieH4191 not, but keepethH5307 his bedH4904: {another: or, his neighbour}
If he rise againH6965, and walkH1980 abroadH2351 upon his staffH4938, then shall he that smoteH5221 him be quitH5352: only he shall payH5414 for the loss of his timeH7674, and shall cause him to be thoroughlyH7495 healedH7495. {the loss…: Heb. his ceasing}
And if a manH376 smiteH5221 his servantH5650, or his maidH519, with a rodH7626, and he dieH4191 under his handH3027; he shall be surelyH5358 punishedH5358. {punished: Heb. avenged}
NotwithstandingH389, if he continueH5975 a dayH3117 or twoH8147, he shall not be punishedH5358: for he is his moneyH3701.
If menH582 striveH5327, and hurtH5062 a womanH802 with childH2030, so that her fruitH3206 departH3318 from her, and yet no mischief followH611: he shall be surelyH6064 punishedH6064, according as the woman'sH802 husbandH1167 will layH7896 upon him; and he shall payH5414 as the judgesH6414 determine.
And if any mischief followH611, then thou shalt giveH5414 lifeH5315 for lifeH5315,
EyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272,
BurningH3555 for burningH3555, woundH6482 for woundH6482, stripeH2250 for stripeH2250.
And if a manH376 smiteH5221 the eyeH5869 of his servantH5650, or the eyeH5869 of his maidH519, that it perishH7843; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 forH8478 his eye'sH5869 sake.
And if he smiteH5307 out his manservant'sH5650 toothH8127, or his maidservant'sH519 toothH8127; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 for his tooth'sH8127 sake.
If an oxH7794 goreH5055 a manH376 or a womanH802, that they dieH4191: then the oxH7794 shall be surelyH5619 stonedH5619, and his fleshH1320 shall not be eatenH398; but the ownerH1167 of the oxH7794 shall be quitH5355.
But if the oxH7794 were wont to push with his hornH5056 in time pastH8543+H8032, and it hath been testifiedH5749 to his ownerH1167, and he hath not keptH8104 him in, but that he hath killedH4191 a manH376 or a womanH802; the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619, and his ownerH1167 also shall be put to deathH4191.
If there be laidH7896 on him a sum of moneyH3724, then he shall giveH5414 for the ransomH6306 of his lifeH5315 whatsoever is laidH7896 upon him.
Whether he have goredH5055 a sonH1121, orH176 have goredH5055 a daughterH1323, according to this judgmentH4941 shall it be doneH6213 unto him.
If the oxH7794 shall pushH5055 a manservantH5650 or a maidservantH519; he shall giveH5414 unto their masterH113 thirtyH7970 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619.
And if a manH376 shall openH6605 a pitH953, or if a manH376 shall digH3738 a pitH953, and not coverH3680 it, and an oxH7794 or an assH2543 fallH5307 therein;
The ownerH1167 of the pitH953 shall make it goodH7999, and giveH7725 moneyH3701 unto the ownerH1167 of them; and the deadH4191 beast shall be his.
And if one man'sH376 oxH7794 hurtH5062 another'sH7453, that he dieH4191; then they shall sellH4376 the liveH2416 oxH7794, and divideH2673 the moneyH3701 of it; and the deadH4191 ox also they shall divideH2673.
Or if it be knownH3045 that the oxH7794 hath used to pushH5056 in time pastH8543+H8032, and his ownerH1167 hath not keptH8104 him in; he shall surelyH7999 payH7999 oxH7794 for oxH7794; and the deadH4191 shall be his own.

But the soulH5315 that doethH6213 ought presumptuouslyH7311+H3027, whether he be born in the landH249, or a strangerH4480+H1616, the same reproachethH1442 the LORDH3068; and that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. {presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand}
But if he thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying of waitH6660, that he dieH4191;
And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
Because he hath despisedH959 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and hath brokenH6565 his commandmentH4687, that soulH5315 shall utterlyH3772 be cut offH3772; his iniquityH5771 shall be upon him.
Or in enmityH342 smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Behold, AdonijahH138 fearethH3372 kingH4428 SolomonH8010: for, lo, he hath caught holdH270 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, Let kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 unto me to dayH3117 that he will not slayH4191 his servantH5650 with the swordH2719.
So I spakeH1696 unto you; and ye would not hearH8085, but rebelledH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and wentH5927 presumptuouslyH2102 upH5927 into the hillH2022. {went…: Heb. ye were presumptuous, and went up}
CursedH779 be he that smitethH5221 his neighbourH7453 secretlyH5643. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
Then tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him.
And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
And when AbnerH74 was returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 took him asideH5186 inH413+H8432 the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him quietlyH7987, and smoteH5221 him there under the fifthH2570 rib, that he diedH4191, for the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251. {quietly: or, peaceably}
But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of the hundredsH3967, the officersH6485 of the hostH2428, and saidH559 unto them, Have her forthH3318 withoutH1004 the rangesH7713: and him that followethH935+H310 her killH4191 with the swordH2719. For the priestH3548 had saidH559, Let her not be slainH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.
When a prophetH5030 speakethH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, if the thingH1697 follow not, nor come to passH935, that is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696, but the prophetH5030 hath spokenH1696 it presumptuouslyH2087: thou shalt not be afraidH1481 of him.
But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. {struck…: Heb. doubled not his stroke}
But if any manH376 hateH8130 his neighbourH7453, and lie in waitH693 for him, and rise upH6965 against him, and smiteH5221 him mortallyH5315 that he dieH4191, and fleethH5127 into oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892: {mortally: Heb. in life}
Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him thence, and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191.
Thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 him, but thou shalt put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from IsraelH3478, that it may go wellH2895 with thee.
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him.
And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
Keep backH2820 thy servantH5650 also from presumptuousH2086 sins; let them not have dominionH4910 over me: then shall I be uprightH8552, and I shall be innocentH5352 from the greatH7227 transgressionH6588. {the great: or, much}
