Exod.21.1

"These are the laws that you are to place before them:

Exod.21.1

"These are the laws you are to set before them:

Exod.21.1

"Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them:

Exod.21.1

"Here are some other instructions you must present to Israel:

Exod.21.2

"When you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve six years. The seventh year he goes free, for nothing.

Exod.21.2

"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.

Exod.21.2

If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing.

Exod.21.2

"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom.

Exod.21.3

If he came in single he leaves single. If he came in married he leaves with his wife.

Exod.21.3

If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him.

Exod.21.3

If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.

Exod.21.3

If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him.

Exod.21.4

If the master gives him a wife and she gave him sons and daughters, the wife and children stay with the master and he leaves by himself.

Exod.21.4

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.

Exod.21.4

If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

Exod.21.4

"If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master.

Exod.21.5

But suppose the slave should say, "I love my master and my wife and children--I don't want my freedom,'

Exod.21.5

"But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,'

Exod.21.5

But if the servant plainly says, "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,'

Exod.21.5

But the slave may plainly declare, `I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.'

Exod.21.6

then his master is to bring him before God and to a door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl, a sign that he is a slave for life.

Exod.21.6

then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

Exod.21.6

then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also 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.21.6

If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever.

Exod.21.7

"When a man sells his daughter to be a handmaid, she doesn't go free after six years like the men.

Exod.21.7

"If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do.

Exod.21.7

"And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.

Exod.21.7

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are.

Exod.21.8

If she doesn't please her master, her family must buy her back; her master doesn't have the right to sell her to foreigners since he broke his word to her.

Exod.21.8

If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.

Exod.21.8

If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

Exod.21.8

If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her.

Exod.21.9

If he turns her over to his son, he has to treat her like a daughter.

Exod.21.9

If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

Exod.21.9

And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters.

Exod.21.9

And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter.

Exod.21.10

If he marries another woman, she retains all her full rights to meals, clothing, and marital relations.

Exod.21.10

If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.

Exod.21.10

If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights.

Exod.21.10

If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife.

Exod.21.11

If he won't do any of these three things for her, she goes free, for nothing.

Exod.21.11

If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.

Exod.21.11

And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free, without paying money.

Exod.21.11

If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment.

Exod.21.12

"If someone hits another and death results, the penalty is death.

Exod.21.12

"Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death.

Exod.21.12

"He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.

Exod.21.12

"Anyone who hits a person hard enough to cause death must be put to death.

Exod.21.13

But if there was no intent to kill--if it was an accident, an "act of God'--I'll set aside a place to which the killer can flee for refuge.

Exod.21.13

However, if he does not do it intentionally, but God lets it happen, he is to flee to a place I will designate.

Exod.21.13

However, if he did not lie in wait, but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.

Exod.21.13

But if it is an accident and God allows it to happen, I will appoint a place where the slayer can run for safety.

Exod.21.14

But if the murder was premeditated, cunningly plotted, then drag the killer away, even if it's from my Altar, to be put to death.

Exod.21.14

But if a man schemes and kills another man deliberately, take him away from my altar and put him to death.

Exod.21.14

"But if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor, to kill him by treachery, you shall take him from My altar, that he may die.

Exod.21.14

However, if someone deliberately attacks and kills another person, then the slayer must be dragged even from my altar and put to death.

Exod.21.15

"If someone hits father or mother, the penalty is death.

Exod.21.15

"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death.

Exod.21.15

"And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Exod.21.15

"Anyone who strikes father or mother must be put to death.

Exod.21.16

"If someone kidnaps a person, the penalty is death, regardless of whether the person has been sold or is still held in possession.

Exod.21.16

"Anyone who kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to death.

Exod.21.16

"He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.

Exod.21.16

"Kidnappers must be killed, whether they are caught in possession of their victims or have already sold them as slaves.

Exod.21.17

"If someone curses father or mother, the penalty is death.

Exod.21.17

"Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

Exod.21.17

"And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Exod.21.17

"Anyone who curses father or mother must be put to death.

Exod.21.18

"If a quarrel breaks out and one hits the other with a rock or a fist and the injured one doesn't die but is confined to bed

Exod.21.18

"If men quarrel and one hits the other with a stone or with his fist and he does not die but is confined to bed,

Exod.21.18

"If men contend with each other, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed,

Exod.21.18

"Now suppose two people quarrel, and one hits the other with a stone or fist, causing injury but not death.

Exod.21.19

and then later gets better and can get about on a crutch, the one who hit him is in the clear, except to pay for the loss of time and make sure of complete recovery.

Exod.21.19

the one who struck the blow will not be held responsible if the other gets up and walks around outside with his staff; however, he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time and see that he is completely healed.

Exod.21.19

if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then he who struck him shall be acquitted. He shall only pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for him to be thoroughly healed.

Exod.21.19

If the injured person is later able to walk again, even with a crutch, the assailant will be innocent. Nonetheless, the assailant must pay for time lost because of the injury and must pay for the medical expenses.

Exod.21.20

"If a slave owner hits a slave, male or female, with a stick and the slave dies on the spot, the slave must be avenged.

Exod.21.20

"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished,

Exod.21.20

"And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

Exod.21.20

"If a male or female slave is beaten and dies, the owner must be punished.

Exod.21.21

But if the slave survives a day or two, he's not to be avenged--the slave is the owner's property.

Exod.21.21

but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Exod.21.21

Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property.

Exod.21.21

If the slave recovers after a couple of days, however, then the owner should not be punished, since the slave is the owner's property.

Exod.21.22

"When there's a fight and in the fight a pregnant woman is hit so that she miscarries but is not otherwise hurt, the one responsible has to pay whatever the husband demands in compensation.

Exod.21.22

"If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows.

Exod.21.22

"If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

Exod.21.22

"Now suppose two people are fighting, and in the process, they hurt a pregnant woman so her child is born prematurely. If no further harm results, then the person responsible must pay damages in the amount the woman's husband demands and the judges approve.

Exod.21.23

But if there is further damage, then you must give life for life

Exod.21.23

But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life,

Exod.21.23

But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,

Exod.21.23

But if any harm results, then the offender must be punished according to the injury. If the result is death, the offender must be executed.

Exod.21.24

-eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

Exod.21.24

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

Exod.21.24

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

Exod.21.24

If an eye is injured, injure the eye of the person who did it. If a tooth gets knocked out, knock out the tooth of the person who did it. Similarly, the payment must be hand for hand, foot for foot,

Exod.21.25

burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Exod.21.25

burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Exod.21.25

burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Exod.21.25

burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Exod.21.26

"If a slave owner hits the eye of a slave or handmaid and ruins it, the owner must let the slave go free because of the eye.

Exod.21.26

"If a man hits a manservant or maidservant in the eye and destroys it, he must let the servant go free to compensate for the eye.

Exod.21.26

"If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.

Exod.21.26

"If an owner hits a male or female slave in the eye and the eye is blinded, then the slave may go free because of the eye.

Exod.21.27

If the owner knocks out the tooth of the male or female slave, the slave must be released and go free because of the tooth.

Exod.21.27

And if he knocks out the tooth of a manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free to compensate for the tooth.

Exod.21.27

And if he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.

Exod.21.27

And if an owner knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave, the slave should be released in payment for the tooth.

Exod.21.28

"If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned. The meat cannot be eaten but the owner of the ox is in the clear.

Exod.21.28

"If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible.

Exod.21.28

"If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted.

Exod.21.28

"If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull must be stoned, and its flesh may not be eaten. In such a case, however, the owner will not be held liable.

Exod.21.29

But if the ox has a history of goring and the owner knew it and did nothing to guard against it, then if the ox kills a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned and the owner given the death penalty.

Exod.21.29

If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull must be stoned and the owner also must be put to death.

Exod.21.29

But if the ox tended to thrust with its horn in times past, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death.

Exod.21.29

Suppose, on the other hand, that the owner knew the bull had gored people in the past, yet the bull was not kept under control. If this is true and if the bull kills someone, it must be stoned, and the owner must also be killed.

Exod.21.30

If a ransom is agreed upon instead of death, he must pay it in full as a redemption for his life.

Exod.21.30

However, if payment is demanded of him, he may redeem his life by paying whatever is demanded.

Exod.21.30

If there is imposed on him a sum of money, then he shall pay to redeem his life, whatever is imposed on him.

Exod.21.30

However, the dead person's relatives may accept payment from the owner of the bull to compensate for the loss of life. The owner will have to pay whatever is demanded.

Exod.21.31

If a son or daughter is gored, the same judgment holds.

Exod.21.31

This law also applies if the bull gores a son or daughter.

Exod.21.31

Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

Exod.21.31

"The same principle applies if the bull gores a boy or a girl.

Exod.21.32

If it is a slave or a handmaid the ox gores, thirty shekels of silver is to be paid to the owner and the ox stoned.

Exod.21.32

If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull must be stoned.

Exod.21.32

If the ox gores a male or female servant, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

Exod.21.32

But if the bull gores a slave, either male or female, the slave's owner is to be given thirty silver coins in payment, and the bull must be stoned.

Exod.21.33

"If someone uncovers a cistern or digs a pit and leaves it open and an ox or donkey falls into it,

Exod.21.33

"If a man uncovers a pit or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

Exod.21.33

"And if 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.21.33

"Suppose someone digs or uncovers a well and fails to cover it, and then an ox or a donkey falls into it.

Exod.21.34

the owner of the pit must pay whatever the animal is worth to its owner but can keep the dead animal.

Exod.21.34

the owner of the pit must pay for the loss; he must pay its owner, and the dead animal will be his.

Exod.21.34

the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to their owner, but the dead animal shall be his.

Exod.21.34

The owner of the well must pay in full for the dead animal but then gets to keep it.

Exod.21.35

"If someone's ox injures a neighbor's ox and the ox dies, they must sell the live ox and split the price; they must also split the dead animal.

Exod.21.35

"If a man's bull injures the bull of another and it dies, they are to sell the live one and divide both the money and the dead animal equally.

Exod.21.35

"If one man's ox hurts another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money from it; and the dead ox they shall also divide.

Exod.21.35

"If someone's bull injures a neighbor's bull and the injured bull dies, then the two owners must sell the live bull and divide the money between them. Each will also own half of the dead bull.

Exod.21.36

But if the ox had a history of goring and the owner knew it and did nothing to guard against it, the owner must pay an ox for an ox but can keep the dead animal.

Exod.21.36

However, if it was known that the bull had the habit of goring, yet the owner did not keep it penned up, the owner must pay, animal for animal, and the dead animal will be his.

Exod.21.36

Or if it was known that the ox tended to thrust in time past, and its owner has not kept it confined, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall be his own.

Exod.21.36

But if the bull was known from past experience to gore, yet its owner failed to keep it under control, the money will not be divided. The owner of the living bull must pay in full for the dead bull but then gets to keep it.

Exod.22.1

"If someone steals an ox or a lamb and slaughters or sells it, the thief must pay five cattle in place of the ox and four sheep in place of the lamb.

Exod.22.1

"If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.

"If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

Exod.22.1

"A fine must be paid by anyone who steals an ox or sheep and then kills or sells it. For oxen the fine is five oxen for each one stolen. For sheep the fine is four sheep for each one stolen.

If the thief is caught while breaking in and is hit hard and dies, there is no bloodguilt.

Exod.22.2

"If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;

Exod.22.2

If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.

Exod.22.2

"If a thief is caught in the act of breaking into a house and is killed in the process, the person who killed the thief is not guilty.

Exod.22.3

But if it happens after daybreak, there is bloodguilt. "A thief must make full restitution for what is stolen. The thief who is unable to pay is to be sold for his thieving.

Exod.22.3

but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed. "A thief must certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold to pay for his theft.

Exod.22.3

If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

Exod.22.3

But if it happens in daylight, the one who killed the thief is guilty of murder. "A thief who is caught must pay in full for everything that was stolen. If payment is not made, the thief must be sold as a slave to pay the debt.

Exod.22.4

If caught red-handed with the stolen goods, and the ox or donkey or lamb is still alive, the thief pays double.

Exod.22.4

"If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession-whether ox or donkey or sheep-he must pay back double.

Exod.22.4

If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.

Exod.22.4

If someone steals an ox or a donkey or a sheep and it is recovered alive, then the thief must pay double the value.

Exod.22.7

"If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

Exod.22.7

"Suppose someone entrusts money or goods to a neighbor, and they are stolen from the neighbor's house. If the thief is found, the fine is double the value of what was stolen.

Exod.22.8

If the thief is not caught, the owner must be brought before God to determine whether the owner was the one who took the neighbor's goods.

Exod.22.8

But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has laid his hands on the other man's property.

Exod.22.8

If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor's goods.

Exod.22.8

But if the thief is not found, God will determine whether or not it was the neighbor who stole the property.

Exod.22.9

"In all cases of stolen goods, whether oxen, donkeys, sheep, clothing, anything in fact missing of which someone says, "That's mine,' both parties must come before the judges. The one the judges pronounce guilty must pay double to the other.

Exod.22.9

In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, 'This is mine,' both parties are to bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges declare guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.

Exod.22.9

"For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

Exod.22.9

"Suppose there is a dispute between two people as to who owns a particular ox, donkey, sheep, article of clothing, or anything else. Both parties must come before God for a decision, and the person whom God declares guilty must pay double to the other.

Exod.22.10

"If someone gives a donkey or ox or lamb or any kind of animal to another for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or lost and there is no witness,

Exod.22.10

"If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to his neighbor for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking,

Exod.22.10

If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it,

Exod.22.10

"Now suppose someone asks a neighbor to care for a donkey, ox, sheep, or any other animal, but it dies or is injured or gets away, and there is no eyewitness to report just what happened.

Exod.22.11

an oath before GOD must be made between them to decide whether one has laid hands on the property of the other. The owner must accept this and no damages are assessed.

Exod.22.11

the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath before the LORD that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person's property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required.

Exod.22.11

then an oath of the LORD shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.

Exod.22.11

The neighbor must then take an oath of innocence in the presence of the LORD. The owner must accept the neighbor's word, and no payment will be required.

Exod.22.12

But if it turns out it was stolen, the owner must be compensated.

Exod.22.12

But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.

Exod.22.12

But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

Exod.22.12

But if the animal or property was stolen, payment must be made to the owner.

Exod.22.13

If it has been torn by wild beasts, the torn animal must be brought in as evidence; no damages have to be paid.

Exod.22.13

If it was torn to pieces by a wild animal, he shall bring in the remains as evidence and he will not be required to pay for the torn animal.

Exod.22.13
