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.

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.
Whoso sheddethH8210 man'sH120 bloodH1818, by manH120 shall his bloodH1818 be shedH8210: for in the imageH6754 of GodH430 madeH6213 he manH120.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, ThereforeH3651 whosoever slayethH2026 CainH7014, vengeance shall be takenH5358 on him sevenfoldH7659. And the LORDH3068 setH7760 a markH226 upon CainH7014, lestH1115 any findingH4672 him should killH5221 him.
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.
Whoso killethH5221 any personH5315, the murdererH7523 shall be put to deathH7523 by the mouthH6310 of witnessesH5707: but oneH259 witnessH5707 shall not testifyH6030 against any personH5315 to cause him to dieH4191.
Moreover ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for the lifeH5315 of a murdererH7523, which is guiltyH7563 of deathH4191: but he shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191. {guilty…: Heb. faulty to die}
And ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for him that is fledH5127 to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, that he should come againH7725 to dwellH3427 in the landH776, until the deathH4194 of the priestH3548.
So ye shall not polluteH2610 the landH776 wherein ye are: for bloodH1818 it defilethH2610 the landH776: and the landH776 cannot be cleansedH3722 of the bloodH1818 that is shedH8210 therein, but by the bloodH1818 of him that shedH8210 it. {the land cannot…: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land}
IfH3588 CainH7014 shall be avengedH5358 sevenfoldH7659, truly LamechH3929 seventyH7657 and sevenfoldH7651.
And thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347; but lifeH5315 shall go for lifeH5315, eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272.
The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
A servantH5650 will not be correctedH3256 by wordsH1697: for though he understandH995 he will not answerH4617.
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seestH7200 not? wherefore have we afflictedH6031 our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledgeH3045? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 pleasureH2656, and exactH5065 all your laboursH6092. {labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}
