Shemoth (Exodus) 21

Exod 21:1 “These are the right-rulings which you are to set before them:
Exod 21:2 “When you buy a Heḇrew servant, he serves six years, and in the
seventh he goes out free, for naught.
Exod 21:3 “If he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he comes in
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exod 21:4 “If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons
or daughters, the wife and her children are her master’s, and he goes out by
himself.
Exod 21:5 “And if the servant truly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my
children, let me not go out free,’
Exod 21:6 then his master shall bring him before Elohim, and shall bring
him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an
awl. And he shall serve him forever.
Exod 21:7 “And when a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she
does not go out as the male servants do.
Exod 21:8 “If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who has engaged
her to himself, then he shall let her be ransomed. He shall have no authority
to sell her to a foreign people, because of him deceiving her.
Exod 21:9 “And if he has engaged her to his son, he is to do to her as is the
right of daughters.
Exod 21:10 “If he takes another wife, her food, her covering, and her
marriage rights are not to be diminished.
Exod 21:11 “And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out
for naught, without silver.
Exod 21:12 “He who strikes a man so that he dies shall certainly be put to
death.
Exod 21:13 “But if he did not lie in wait, but Elohim delivered him into his
hand, then I shall appoint for you a place where he is to flee.
Exod 21:14 “But when a man acts presumptuously against his neighbour, to
kill him by treachery, you are to take him even from My altar to die.
Exod 21:15 “And he who smites his father or his mother shall certainly be
put to death.
Exod 21:16 “And he who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in
his hand, shall certainly be put to death.
Exod 21:17 “And he who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be
put to death.
Exod 21:18 “And when men strive together, and one smites the other with a
stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed,
Exod 21:19 if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then he
who smote him shall be innocent. He only pays for lost time and sees to it
that he is completely healed.
Exod 21:20 “And when a man smites his male or female servant with a rod,
so that he dies under his hand, he shall certainly be punished.
Exod 21:21 “But if he remains alive a day or two, he is not punished; for he
is his property.
Exod 21:22 “And when men strive and they shall smite a pregnant woman,
and her children come out, yet there is no injury, he shall certainly be
punished accordingly as the woman’s husband lays upon him. And he shall
give through the judges.
Exod 21:23 “But if there is injury, then you shall give life for life,
Exod 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exod 21:25 burn for burn, wound for wound, lash for lash.
Exod 21:26 “And when a man smites the eye of his male or female servant,
and destroys it, he is to let him go free for the sake of his eye.
Exod 21:27 “And if he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he
is to let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
Exod 21:28 “And when an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then the ox
shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox is
innocent.
Exod 21:29 “However, if the ox was previously in the habit of goring, and
its owner has been warned, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has
killed a man or a woman, the ox is stoned and its owner also is put to death.
Exod 21:30 “If a sin-covering is laid upon him, then he shall give the ransom
of his life, whatever is laid on him.
Exod 21:31 “Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, according to
this right-ruling it is done to him.
Exod 21:32 “If the ox gores a male or female servant, he is to give to their
master thirty sheqels of silver, and the ox is stoned.
Exod 21:33 “And when a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not
cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it,
Exod 21:34 the owner of the pit is to repay, he is to give silver to their
owner, and the dead beast is his.
Exod 21:35 “And when the ox of a man smites the ox of his neighbour and it
dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the silver from it, and also
divide the dead ox.
Exod 21:36 “Or if it was known that the ox was previously in the habit of
goring, and its owner has not kept it confined, he shall certainly repay ox for
ox, while the dead beast is his.
