1. Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them.
2. If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4. If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
5. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6. Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
7. And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8. If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a foreign nation he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9. And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10. If he takes another wife for himself; her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11. And if he does not do these three to her, then shall she go out free without money.
12. He that strikes a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
13. And if a man does not lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14. But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to kill him with trickery; you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15. And he that strikes his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
16. And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17. And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18. And if men argue together, and one strikes another with a stone, or with his fist, and he does not die, but keeps his bed:
19. If he rises again, and walks abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck him be free: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20. And if a man strikes his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he dies under his hand; he shall surely be punished.
21. However, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22. If men argue, and hurt a woman with child, so that her baby departs from her, and yet no injury follows: he shall surely be punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23. And if any injury follows, then you shall give life for life,
24. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25. Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26. And if a man strikes the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perishes; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27. And if he strikes out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28. If an ox gores a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be free.
29. But if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
30. If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.
31. Whether it has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.
32. If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33. And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls therein;
34. The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35. And if one man's ox hurts another's, that he dies; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36. Or if it be known that the ox has been accustomed to push in time past, and his owner has not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
