Berean Standard Bible
`And
these `
are '
the judgments
which
thou
dost
set before them:
“
These are the ordinances
that
you
are
to
set before them:
`When
thou
buyest
a Hebrew servant --
six
years
he doth
serve ,
and
in the seventh he goeth
out
as
a
freeman
for
nought;
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 by
himself
he cometh
in
, by
himself
he goeth
out
; if he `is'
owner
of
a wife, then
his
wife
hath
gone
out
with him ;
If he arrived
alone
, he is
to
leave
alone
; if he arrived
with
a wife, she
is
to
leave
with him .
if his lord
give
to
him a wife ,
and she hath
borne
to
him sons or daughters --
the wife
and her children are
her lord's
, and he
goeth
out
by
himself
.
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
.
`And
if the servant really
say:
I have
loved
my lord,
my wife ,
and my
sons
--
I do not go out
free ;
But
if the servant declares,
‘
I love
my master
and
my wife and children;
I do not want
to
go free ,’
then hath
his lord
brought
him nigh
unto
God,
and hath
brought
him nigh
unto
the door ,
or unto
the
side-post,
and his
lord
hath
bored
his ear with an awl ,
and
he hath
served
him
--
to
the
age
.
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
.
`
And when
a man selleth
his daughter for
a handmaid
, she doth
not go
out
according
to the
going
out
of
the men-servants;
And if
a man sells
his daughter as
a servant
, she is
not to go
free
as
the menservants
do.
if evil
in the eyes of her lord,
so
that
he
hath
not
betrothed
her, then
he hath
let
her be
ransomed;
to a
strange
people
he hath
not
power
to sell her, in
his
dealing
treacherously
with her.
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.
`
And if to
his
son
he betroth
her, according
to
the
right
of
daughters
he doth
to
her.
And if he chooses
her for
his
son
, he must
deal
with
her as
with
a
daughter
.
`
If another
`woman'
he take
for
him
, her
food, her
covering,
and
her
habitation
, he
doth
not
withdraw;
If he takes
another
wife
, he
must
not
reduce
the
food, clothing
, or
marital
rights
of
his
first
wife.
and
if these
three
he do
not to
her, then
she hath
gone
out
for
nought,
without money
.
If ,
however,
he does
not provide
her with
these
three
things
, she is
free
to
go
without monetary
payment
.
`He
who
smiteth
a man so
that
he
hath
died,
is
certainly
put to death ;
Whoever
strikes
and
kills
a man must
surely
be
put to death .
as
to
him
who
hath
not laid
wait, and
God hath
brought
to his
hand
, I have
even
set
for thee
a place whither
he doth
flee.
If,
however,
he
did
not lie
in
wait, but
God allowed
it
to happen
, then
I will
appoint
for you
a place where
he may
flee.
`And
when
a man doth
presume
against his neighbour
to slay
him with
subtilty
, from
Mine
altar
thou
dost
take him to die
.
But
if
a man schemes
and
acts
willfully
against his neighbor
to kill
him, you
must
take him away
from
My
altar
to be
put
to
death
.
`And
he
who
smiteth
his father or his
mother is
certainly
put to death.
Whoever
strikes
his father or mother must
surely
be
put to death.
`And
he
who
stealeth
a
man ,
and
hath
sold
him
, and
he hath
been
found in his hand,
is
certainly
put
to
death
.
Whoever
kidnaps
another
man must
be
put
to
death
, whether
he sells
him
or
the
man
is
found in his possession
.
`And
he
who is
reviling
his father or his
mother is
certainly
put to death.
Anyone
who curses
his father or mother must
surely
be
put to death.
`And
when
men contend,
and a
man
hath
smitten
his
neighbour
with a stone ,
or with
the
fist, and he die
not ,
but hath
fallen
on
the
bed ;
If
men are
quarreling
and one
strikes
the
other
with a stone or a
fist, and he does
not die
but is
confined
to
bed ,
if
he
rise
, and
hath
gone
up and down
without
on
his staff, then
hath
the smiter
been
acquitted;
only
his cessation
he
giveth,
and he is thoroughly
healed.
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.
`And
when
a man smiteth
his man-servant
or his
handmaid,
with a rod, and he
hath
died
under
his hand --
he is
certainly
avenged;
If
a man strikes
his manservant
or maidservant
with a rod, and the
servant
dies
by
his hand ,
he shall
surely
be
punished.
only
if he
remain
a day ,
or two days
, he
is
not avenged
, for
he
`
is '
his money
.
However,
if the
servant
gets
up
after
a day or two, the
owner
shall
not be
punished
, since
the
servant
is his property
.
`And
when
men strive,
and
have
smitten
a pregnant woman ,
and her children
have
come
out
, and
there is no mischief
, he is
certainly
fined ,
as the husband of
the
woman
doth
lay
upon
him,
and he
hath
given
through
the judges;
If
men who
are
fighting
strike
a pregnant woman and her child
is
born
prematurely
, but
there is no further
injury
, he shall
surely
be
fined as the woman’s
husband demands
and as
the court
allows.
and
if there
is
mischief
, then thou
hast
given
life for life ,
But
if a
serious
injury
results
, then you
must
require
a
life for a
life —
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
burning
for burning
, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
burn
for burn
, wound for wound, and
stripe for stripe.
`And
when
a man smiteth
the eye of his man-servant,
or the
eye
of
his
handmaid,
and
hath
destroyed
it
, as
a
freeman
he doth
send
him
away
for his
eye ;
If
a man strikes
and
blinds
the eye of his manservant
or maidservant
, he must
let
the
servant
go
free
as
compensation
for the
eye .
and if a
tooth of his man-servant
or a
tooth
of
his
handmaid
he
knock
out
, as
a
freeman
he doth
send
him
away
for his
tooth.
And if he
knocks
out
the
tooth of his manservant
or maidservant
, he must
let
the
servant
go
free
as
compensation
for the
tooth.
`And
when
an ox doth
gore
man or woman ,
and
they
have
died
, the ox is
certainly
stoned, and his
flesh
is
not eaten ,
and
the owner of the ox `is'
acquitted;
If
an ox gores
a
man or woman to
death
, the ox must
surely
be
stoned, and its
meat
must
not be
eaten .
But
the owner of the ox shall
not
be
held
responsible.
and
if the ox is
`one'
accustomed
to
gore
heretofore
, and it
hath
been
testified
to
its owner ,
and
he
doth
not watch
it, and it hath
put
to
death
a man or woman, the ox is
stoned ,
and its owner also is
put to death.
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
also be
put to death.
`
If atonement
is laid
upon
him, then
he hath
given
the
ransom
of
his life ,
according
to
all
that
is
laid
upon
him ;
If payment
is demanded
of
him instead
, he may
redeem
his life by
paying
the
full
amount
demanded
of
him .
whether
it
gore
a son or gore
a daughter, according
to
this
judgment
it is
done to him.
If
the
ox
gores
a son or a daughter, it shall
be
done to him according
to
the
same
rule
.
`
If the ox gore
a man-servant
or a
handmaid
, thirty silver
shekels he
doth
give
to their
lord
, and the ox is
stoned.
If the ox gores
a manservant
or maidservant
, the
owner
must
pay
thirty shekels of
silver
to the
master
of
that
servant
, and the ox must
be
stoned.
`And
when
a man doth
open
a
pit,
or when
a
man
doth
dig
a pit ,
and doth
not
cover it, and an ox or ass
hath
fallen
thither
, --
If
a man opens
or digs
a pit and fails
to
cover it, and an ox or a
donkey
falls
into
it
,
the owner of the pit doth
repay,
money
he doth
give
back
to
its owner, and the dead is
his.
the owner of the pit shall
make
restitution;
he must
pay
its owner, and the dead animal
will
be
his.
`And
when
a man's
ox
doth
smite
the
ox of
his neighbour,
and it hath
died
, then
they have
sold
the living
ox,
and
halved
its
money,
and also the dead one
they
do
halve;
If
a man’s
ox injures
his neighbor’s
ox
and it dies
, they must
sell
the live
one
and divide
the
proceeds;
they
also must
divide
the dead animal.
or,
it hath
been
known that the ox is
`one'
accustomed
to
gore
heretofore
, and
its owner doth
not
watch
it, he certainly
repayeth
ox for ox, and the dead is
his.
But
if
it was
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.
