02:021:002 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
02:021:003 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
02:021:004 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him
sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and
he shall go out by himself.
02:021:005 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my
wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
02:021:006 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall
also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall
bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
02:021:007 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall
not go out as the menservants do.
02:021:008 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to
himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange
nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with
her.
02:021:009 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with
her after the manner of daughters.
02:021:010 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her
duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
02:021:011 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out
free without money.
02:021:012 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
death.
02:021:013 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his
hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
02:021:014 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay
him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
02:021:015 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be
surely put to death.
02:021:016 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be
found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
02:021:017 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely
be put to death.
02:021:018 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
02:021:019 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall
he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time,
and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
02:021:020 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
02:021:021 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money.
02:021:022 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit
depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely
punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he
shall pay as the judges determine.
02:021:023 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for
life,
02:021:024 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
