21:1 "Now
these
are
the
rules
that
you
shall
set
before
them.
21:2 When
you
buy
a
Hebrew
slave,
he
shall
serve
six
years,
and
in
the
seventh
he
shall
go
out
free,
for
nothing.
21:3 If
he
comes
in
single,
he
shall
go
out
single;
if
he
comes
in
married,
then
his
wife
shall
go
out
with
him.
21:4 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
alone.
21:5 But
if
the
slave
plainly
says,
'I
love
my
master,
my
wife,
and
my
children;
I
will
not
go
out
free,'
21:6 then
his
master
shall
bring
him
to
God,
and
he
shall
bring
him
to
the
door
or
the
doorpost.
And
his
master
shall
bore
his
ear
through
with
an
awl,
and
he
shall
be
his
slave
forever.
21:7 "When
a
man
sells
his
daughter
as
a
slave,
she
shall
not
go
out
as
the
male
slaves
do.
21:8 If
she
does
not
please
her
master,
who
has
designated
her
for
himself,
then
he
shall
let
her
be
redeemed.
He
shall
have
no
right
to
sell
her
to
a
foreign
people,
since
he
has
broken
faith
with
her.
21:9 If
he
designates
her
for
his
son,
he
shall
deal
with
her
as
with
a
daughter.
21:10 If
he
takes
another
wife
to
himself,
he
shall
not
diminish
her
food,
her
clothing,
or
her
marital
rights.
21:11 And
if
he
does
not
do
these
three
things
for
her,
she
shall
go
out
for
nothing,
without
payment
of
money.
21:12 "Whoever
strikes
a
man
so
that
he
dies
shall
be
put
to
death.
21:13 But
if
he
did
not
lie
in
wait
for
him,
but
God
let
him
fall
into
his
hand,
then
I
will
appoint
for
you
a
place
to
which
he
may
flee.
21:14 But
if
a
man
willfully
attacks
another
to
kill
him
by
cunning,
you
shall
take
him
from
my
altar,
that
he
may
die.
21:15 "Whoever
strikes
his
father
or
his
mother
shall
be
put
to
death.
21:16 "Whoever
steals
a
man
and
sells
him,
and
anyone
found
in
possession
of
him,
shall
be
put
to
death.
21:17 "Whoever
curses
his
father
or
his
mother
shall
be
put
to
death.
21:18 "When
men
quarrel
and
one
strikes
the
other
with
a
stone
or
with
his
fist
and
the
man
does
not
die
but
takes
to
his
bed,
21:19 then
if
the
man
rises
again
and
walks
outdoors
with
his
staff,
he
who
struck
him
shall
be
clear;
only
he
shall
pay
for
the
loss
of
his
time,
and
shall
have
him
thoroughly
healed.
21:20 "When
a
man
strikes
his
slave,
male
or
female,
with
a
rod
and
the
slave
dies
under
his
hand,
he
shall
be
avenged.
21:21 But
if
the
slave
survives
a
day
or
two,
he
is
not
to
be
avenged,
for
the
slave
is
his
money.
21:22 "When
men
strive
together
and
hit
a
pregnant
woman,
so
that
her
children
come
out,
but
there
is
no
harm,
the
one
who
hit
her
shall
surely
be
fined,
as
the
woman's
husband
shall
impose
on
him,
and
he
shall
pay
as
the
judges
determine.
21:23 But
if
there
is
harm,
then
you
shall
pay
life
for
life,
21:24 eye
for
eye,
tooth
for
tooth,
hand
for
hand,
foot
for
foot,
21:25 burn
for
burn,
wound
for
wound,
stripe
for
stripe.
21:26 "When
a
man
strikes
the
eye
of
his
slave,
male
or
female,
and
destroys
it,
he
shall
let
the
slave
go
free
because
of
his
eye.
21:27 If
he
knocks
out
the
tooth
of
his
slave,
male
or
female,
he
shall
let
the
slave
go
free
because
of
his
tooth.
21:28 "When
an
ox
gores
a
man
or
a
woman
to
death,
the
ox
shall
be
stoned,
and
its
flesh
shall
not
be
eaten,
but
the
owner
of
the
ox
shall
not
be
liable.
21:29 But
if
the
ox
has
been
accustomed
to
gore
in
the
past,
and
its
owner
has
been
warned
but
has
not
kept
it
in,
and
it
kills
a
man
or
a
woman,
the
ox
shall
be
stoned,
and
its
owner
also
shall
be
put
to
death.
21:30 If
a
ransom
is
imposed
on
him,
then
he
shall
give
for
the
redemption
of
his
life
whatever
is
imposed
on
him.
21:31 If
it
gores
a
man's
son
or
daughter,
he
shall
be
dealt
with
according
to
this
same
rule.
21:32 If
the
ox
gores
a
slave,
male
or
female,
the
owner
shall
give
to
their
master
thirty
shekels
of
silver,
and
the
ox
shall
be
stoned.
21:33 "When
a
man
opens
a
pit,
or
when
a
man
digs
a
pit
and
does
not
cover
it,
and
an
ox
or
a
donkey
falls
into
it,
21:34 the
owner
of
the
pit
shall
make
restoration.
He
shall
give
money
to
its
owner,
and
the
dead
beast
shall
be
his.
21:35 "When
one
man's
ox
butts
another's,
so
that
it
dies,
then
they
shall
sell
the
live
ox
and
share
its
price,
and
the
dead
beast
also
they
shall
share.
21:36 Or
if
it
is
known
that
the
ox
has
been
accustomed
to
gore
in
the
past,
and
its
owner
has
not
kept
it
in,
he
shall
repay
ox
for
ox,
and
the
dead
beast
shall
be
his.
