20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
thick darkness where God was.
20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the
children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from
heaven.
20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make
unto you gods of gold.
20:24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and
thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto
thee, and I will bless thee.
20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build
it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast
polluted it.
20:26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon.
21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in
the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
21:4 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.
21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife,
and my children; I will not go out free: 21:6 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.
21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not
go out as the menservants do.
21:8 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.
21:9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her
after the manner of daughters.
21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty
of marriage, shall he not diminish.
21:11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out
free without money.
21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to
death.
21:13 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.
21:14 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.
21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely
put to death.
21:16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found
in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
21:17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be
put to death.
