these are the ordinances which
you shall
set before them .
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is
to
serve you
for
six years .
But
in the seventh year,
he shall go free without paying anything.
If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall
serve six years and
in the seventh he shall go out
free without paying anything.
If he arrived
alone
, he is
to
leave
alone;
if he arrived
with
a
wife,
she
is to
leave
with him.
If he comes
in
by
himself
, he shall
go
out
by
himself.
If he is married,
then
his
wife
shall
go
out
with him.
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman
and her children shall belong
to
her master
, and only
the
man
shall go free
.
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife
and her children shall be
her master's
, and he
shall go out
by
himself
.
But if the servant declares
, ‘
I love my master and
my wife and children ;
I do
not want
to
go free ,’
But if the servant shall
plainly
say
, '
I love my master ,
my wife ,
and my
children .
I will
not go out
free ;'
then his master is
to
bring him before
the
judges.
And he
shall take
him to the door or doorpost
and pierce
his ear with an awl .
Then
he shall serve his
master
for life
.

bring him to
God,
and shall bring
him to the door or to

door-post,
and his master
shall
bore
his
ear through
with an awl ,

he shall serve him
for ever

not to
go free
as the menservants
do.

a maid-
servant, she shall
not go out
as the men-servants
do.
If she is
displeasing
in
the
eyes
of
her master who had
designated
her for
himself, he must
allow
her to
be redeemed. He has
no right to sell her to foreigners
, since
he has broken
faith
with her.
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.
And
if he chooses
her for
his son, he must
deal with her as
with
a
daughter
.
If he marries
her to
his son, he shall
deal with her after
the
manner
of
daughters
.
If he takes another wife, he must
not reduce
the
food, clothing, or
marital rights of
his
first
wife
.

himself
, he shall
not diminish
her
food, her
clothing, and
her
marital rights.
If ,
however,
he does
not
provide
her
with
these three things, she is
free
to
go without monetary
payment
.
If he doesn't
do
these three things for
her
, she may
go free
without paying
any
money
.

a man must
surely be put to death .

who
strikes a man so
that
he
dies

flee.

not if
it
is
unintentional
, but God allows
it to happen :
then I will appoint you a place where he shall
flee.

not
die but is confined to bed ,
"
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 ;
then
the
one
who
struck
him
shall
go
unpunished,
as
long
as
the
other
can
get
up
and walk
around outside
with his staff .
Nevertheless
, he must
compensate
the
man
for his lost
work
and see
that
he is completely
healed.
if
he
rises
again
and walks
around with his staff, then
he who
struck
him

for
his
healing

that
she
gives
birth

yet
no harm
follows
, he shall be surely
fined as much
as
the woman's
husband demands and the judges
allow
.
But if a
serious
injury
results
, then you must require
a
life for a
life —
But if any
harm
follows
, then you must take
life for life ,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

surely be stoned, and its flesh
shall
not be eaten ;
but the owner of the bull
shall not be held responsible.
But if the ox
has
a habit of goring, and its owner has been
warned
yet
does
not restrain
it, and
it kills
a man or woman, then
the ox
must
be stoned and its owner must

pit,
or if
a

man’s
ox

sell the live one
and divide the
proceeds
; they also must

If one
man's
bull
injures another's,
so
that
it dies, then
they shall
sell the live bull,
and divide its
price
; and
they shall
also divide the dead animal.
But

known that the ox
had
a
habit of goring, yet
its owner failed
to
restrain
it, he shall pay full
compensation,
ox
for ox
, and the dead animal will
be his.
Or
if it is
known that the bull
was
in
the
habit of goring in
the
past
, and
its owner has
not
kept
it in
, he shall surely
pay bull
for bull
, and the dead animal shall
be his own
.
