to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore
his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.
021:007 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall
not go out as the male servants do.
021:008 If she doesn't please her master, who has married
her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed.
He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people,
seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
021:009 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her after
the manner of daughters.
021:010 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish
her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
021:011 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free
without paying any money.
021:012 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be
put to death,
021:013 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen:
then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
021:014 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor
to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
021:015 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely
put to death.
021:016 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found
in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
021:017 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely
be put to death.
021:018 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone,
or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;
021:019 if he rises again and walks around with his staff,
then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay
for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing
until he is thoroughly healed.
021:020 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod,
and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
021:021 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall
not be punished, for he is his property.
021:022 "If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives
birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely
fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.
021:023 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
021:024 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
021:025 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
021:026 "If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye,
and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
021:027 If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female
servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
021:028 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall
surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten;
but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
