Exodus 21 (kjv)

21

Now these are the judgmentsH4941 which thou shalt setH7760 beforeH6440 them.2If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.3If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH1167 H802, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him.4If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master'sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610.

5And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not go outH3318 freeH2670:6Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.

7And if a manH376 sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a maidservantH519, she shall not go outH3318 as the menservantsH5650 doH3318.8If she pleaseH7451 H5869 not her masterH113, who hath betrothedH3259 her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemedH6299: to sellH4376 her unto a strangeH5237 nationH5971 he shall have no powerH4910, seeing he hath dealt deceitfullyH898 with her.9And if he have betrothedH3259 her unto his sonH1121, he shall dealH6213 with her after the mannerH4941 of daughtersH1323.10If he takeH3947 him anotherH312 wife; her foodH7607, her raimentH3682, and her duty of marriageH5772, shall he not diminishH1639.11And if he doH6213 not these threeH7969 unto her, then shall she go outH3318 freeH2600 without moneyH3701.

12He that smitethH5221 a manH376, so that he dieH4191, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.13And if a man lie not in waitH6658, but GodH430 deliverH579 him into his handH3027; then I will appointH7760 thee a placeH4725 whither he shall fleeH5127.14But if a manH376 come presumptuouslyH2102 upon his neighbourH7453, to slayH2026 him with guileH6195; thou shalt takeH3947 him from mine altarH4196, that he may dieH4191.15And he that smitethH5221 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.

16And he that stealethH1589 a manH376, and sellethH4376 him, or if he be foundH4672 in his handH3027, he shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.

17And he that cursethH7043 his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.

18And if menH582 striveH7378 together, and oneH376 smiteH5221 anotherH7453 with a stoneH68, orH176 with his fistH106, and he dieH4191 not, but keepethH5307 his bedH4904:19If he rise againH6965, and walkH1980 abroadH2351 upon his staffH4938, then shall he that smoteH5221 him be quitH5352: only he shall payH5414 for the loss of his timeH7674, and shall cause him to be thoroughlyH7495 healedH7495.20And if a manH376 smiteH5221 his servantH5650, or his maidH519, with a rodH7626, and he dieH4191 under his handH3027; he shall be surelyH5358 punishedH5358.21NotwithstandingH389, if he continueH5975 a dayH3117 or twoH8147, he shall not be punishedH5358: for he is his moneyH3701.

22If menH582 striveH5327, and hurtH5062 a womanH802 with childH2030, so that her fruitH3206 departH3318 from her, and yet no mischief followH611: he shall be surelyH6064 punishedH6064, according as the woman'sH802 husbandH1167 will layH7896 upon him; and he shall payH5414 as the judgesH6414 determine.23And if any mischief followH611, then thou shalt giveH5414 lifeH5315 for lifeH5315,24EyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272,25BurningH3555 for burningH3555, woundH6482 for woundH6482, stripeH2250 for stripeH2250.26And if a manH376 smiteH5221 the eyeH5869 of his servantH5650, or the eyeH5869 of his maidH519, that it perishH7843; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 forH8478 his eye'sH5869 sake.27And if he smiteH5307 out his manservant'sH5650 toothH8127, or his maidservant'sH519 toothH8127; he shall let him goH7971 freeH2670 for his tooth'sH8127 sake.

28If an oxH7794 goreH5055 a manH376 or a womanH802, that they dieH4191: then the oxH7794 shall be surelyH5619 stonedH5619, and his fleshH1320 shall not be eatenH398; but the ownerH1167 of the oxH7794 shall be quitH5355.29But if the oxH7794 were wont to push with his hornH5056 in time pastH8543 H8032, and it hath been testifiedH5749 to his ownerH1167, and he hath not keptH8104 him in, but that he hath killedH4191 a manH376 or a womanH802; the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619, and his ownerH1167 also shall be put to deathH4191.30If there be laidH7896 on him a sum of moneyH3724, then he shall giveH5414 for the ransomH6306 of his lifeH5315 whatsoever is laidH7896 upon him.31Whether he have goredH5055 a sonH1121, orH176 have goredH5055 a daughterH1323, according to this judgmentH4941 shall it be doneH6213 unto him.32If the oxH7794 shall pushH5055 a manservantH5650 or a maidservantH519; he shall giveH5414 unto their masterH113 thirtyH7970 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619.

33And if a manH376 shall openH6605 a pitH953, or if a manH376 shall digH3738 a pitH953, and not coverH3680 it, and an oxH7794 or an assH2543 fallH5307 therein;34The ownerH1167 of the pitH953 shall make it goodH7999, and giveH7725 moneyH3701 unto the ownerH1167 of them; and the deadH4191 beast shall be his.35And if one man'sH376 oxH7794 hurtH5062 another'sH7453, that he dieH4191; then they shall sellH4376 the liveH2416 oxH7794, and divideH2673 the moneyH3701 of it; and the deadH4191 ox also they shall divideH2673.36Or if it be knownH3045 that the oxH7794 hath used to pushH5056 in time pastH8543 H8032, and his ownerH1167 hath not keptH8104 him in; he shall surelyH7999 payH7999 oxH7794 for oxH7794; and the deadH4191 shall be his own.
