21:1 Now these [are] the judgments 4941 which thou shalt set 7760 8799 before 6440 them.

21:2 If thou buy 7069 8799 an Hebrew 5680 servant 5650, six 8337 years 8141 he shall serve 5647 8799: and in the seventh 7637 he shall go out 3318 8799 free 2670 for nothing 2600.

21:3 If he came in 935 8799 by himself 1610, he shall go out 3318 8799 by himself 1610: if he were married 1167 802, then his wife 802 shall go out 3318 8804 with him.(by himself: Heb. with his body)

21:4 If his master 113 have given 5414 8799 him a wife 802, and she have born 3205 8804 him sons 1121 or daughters 1323; the wife 802 and her children 3206 shall be her master's 113, and he shall go out 3318 8799 by himself 1610.

21:5 And if the servant 5650 shall plainly 559 8800 say 559 8799, I love 157 8804 my master 113, my wife 802, and my children 1121; I will not go out 3318 8799 free 2670:(shall…: Heb. saying shall say)

21:6 Then his master 113 shall bring 5066 8689 him unto the judges 430; he shall also bring 5066 8689 him to the door 1817, or unto the door post 4201; and his master 113 shall bore 7527 8804 his ear 241 through with an aul 4836; and he shall serve 5647 8804 him for ever 5769.

21:7 And if a man 376 sell 4376 8799 his daughter 1323 to be a maidservant 519, she shall not go out 3318 8799 as the menservants 5650 do 3318 8800.

21:8 If she please 7451 5869 not her master 113, who hath betrothed 3259 8804 her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed 6299 8689: to sell 4376 8800 her unto a strange 5237 nation 5971 he shall have no power 4910 8799, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully 898 8800 with her.(please…: Heb. be evil in the eyes of, etc)

21:9 And if he have betrothed 3259 8799 her unto his son 1121, he shall deal 6213 8799 with her after the manner 4941 of daughters 1323.

21:10 If he take 3947 8799 him another 312 [wife]; her food 7607, her raiment 3682, and her duty of marriage 5772, shall he not diminish 1639 8799.

21:11 And if he do 6213 8799 not these three 7969 unto her, then shall she go out 3318 8804 free 2600 without money 3701.

21:12 He that smiteth 5221 8688 a man 376, so that he die 4191 8804, shall be surely 4191 8800 put to death 4191 8714.

21:13 And if a man lie not in wait 6658 8804, but God 430 deliver 579 8765 [him] into his hand 3027; then I will appoint 7760 8804 thee a place 4725 whither he shall flee 5127 8799.

21:14 But if a man 376 come presumptuously 2102 8686 upon his neighbour 7453, to slay 2026 8800 him with guile 6195; thou shalt take 3947 8799 him from mine altar 4196, that he may die 4191 8800.

21:15 And he that smiteth 5221 8688 his father 1, or his mother 517, shall be surely 4191 8800 put to death 4191 8714.

21:16 And he that stealeth 1589 8802 a man 376, and selleth 4376 8804 him, or if he be found 4672 8738 in his hand 3027, he shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714.

21:17 And he that curseth 7043 8764 his father 1, or his mother 517, shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714.(curseth: or, revileth)

21:18 And if men 582 strive 7378 8799 together, and one 376 smite 5221 8689 another 7453 with a stone 68, or 176 with [his] fist 106, and he die 4191 8799 not, but keepeth 5307 8804 [his] bed 4904:(another: or, his neighbour)

21:19 If he rise again 6965 8799, and walk 1980 8694 abroad 2351 upon his staff 4938, then shall he that smote 5221 8688 [him] be quit 5352 8738: only he shall pay 5414 8799 [for] the loss of his time 7674, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly 7495 8763 healed 7495 8762.(the loss…: Heb. his ceasing)

21:20 And if a man 376 smite 5221 8686 his servant 5650, or his maid 519, with a rod 7626, and he die 4191 8804 under his hand 3027; he shall be surely 5358 8800 punished 5358 8735.(punished: Heb. avenged)

21:21 Notwithstanding 389, if he continue 5975 8799 a day 3117 or two 8147, he shall not be punished 5358 8714: for he [is] his money 3701.

21:22 If men 582 strive 5327 8735, and hurt 5062 8804 a woman 802 with child 2030, so that her fruit 3206 depart 3318 8804 [from her], and yet no mischief follow 611: he shall be surely 6064 8800 punished 6064 8735, according as the woman's 802 husband 1167 will lay 7896 8799 upon him; and he shall pay 5414 8804 as the judges 6414 [determine].

21:23 And if [any] mischief follow 611, then thou shalt give 5414 8804 life 5315 for life 5315,

21:24 Eye 5869 for eye 5869, tooth 8127 for tooth 8127, hand 3027 for hand 3027, foot 7272 for foot 7272,

21:25 Burning 3555 for burning 3555, wound 6482 for wound 6482, stripe 2250 for stripe 2250.

21:26 And if a man 376 smite 5221 8686 the eye 5869 of his servant 5650, or the eye 5869 of his maid 519, that it perish 7843 8765; he shall let him go 7971 8762 free 2670 for 8478 his eye's 5869 sake.

21:27 And if he smite 5307 8686 out his manservant's 5650 tooth 8127, or his maidservant's 519 tooth 8127; he shall let him go 7971 8762 free 2670 for his tooth's 8127 sake.

21:28 If an ox 7794 gore 5055 8799 a man 376 or a woman 802, that they die 4191 8804: then the ox 7794 shall be surely 5619 8800 stoned 5619 8735, and his flesh 1320 shall not be eaten 398 8735; but the owner 1167 of the ox 7794 [shall be] quit 5355.

21:29 But if the ox 7794 were wont to push with his horn 5056 in time past 8543 8032, and it hath been testified 5749 8717 to his owner 1167, and he hath not kept 8104 8799 him in, but that he hath killed 4191 8689 a man 376 or a woman 802; the ox 7794 shall be stoned 5619 8735, and his owner 1167 also shall be put to death 4191 8714.

21:30 If there be laid 7896 8714 on him a sum of money 3724, then he shall give 5414 8804 for the ransom 6306 of his life 5315 whatsoever is laid 7896 8714 upon him.

21:31 Whether he have gored 5055 8799 a son 1121, or 176 have gored 5055 8799 a daughter 1323, according to this judgment 4941 shall it be done 6213 8735 unto him.

21:32 If the ox 7794 shall push 5055 8799 a manservant 5650 or a maidservant 519; he shall give 5414 8799 unto their master 113 thirty 7970 shekels 8255 of silver 3701, and the ox 7794 shall be stoned 5619 8735.

21:33 And if a man 376 shall open 6605 8799 a pit 953, or if a man 376 shall dig 3738 8799 a pit 953, and not cover 3680 8762 it, and an ox 7794 or an ass 2543 fall 5307 8804 therein;

21:34 The owner 1167 of the pit 953 shall make [it] good 7999 8762, [and] give 7725 8686 money 3701 unto the owner 1167 of them; and the dead 4191 8801 [beast] shall be his.

21:35 And if one man's 376 ox 7794 hurt 5062 8799 another's 7453, that he die 4191 8804; then they shall sell 4376 8804 the live 2416 ox 7794, and divide 2673 8804 the money 3701 of it; and the dead 4191 8801 [ox] also they shall divide 2673 8799.

21:36 Or if it be known 3045 8738 that the ox 7794 hath used to push 5056 in time past 8543 8032, and his owner 1167 hath not kept 8104 8799 him in; he shall surely 7999 8763 pay 7999 8762 ox 7794 for ox 7794; and the dead 4191 8801 shall be his own.
