Exodus 21:1--23:13

Now these [are] the judgments
<04941>

which thou shalt set
<07760> (8799)

before
<06440>

them.

If thou buy
<07069> (8799)

an Hebrew
<05680>

servant
<05650>_,

six
<08337>

years
<08141>

he shall serve
<05647> (8799)_:

and in the seventh
<07637>

he shall go out
<03318> (8799)

free
<02670>

for nothing
<02600>_.

If he came in
<0935> (8799)

by himself
<01610>_,

he shall go out
<03318> (8799)

by himself
<01610>_:

if he were married
<01167> <0802>_,

then his wife
<0802>

shall go out
<03318> (8804)

with him. {by himself: Heb. with his body}

If his master
<0113>

have given
<05414> (8799)

him a wife
<0802>_,

and she have born
<03205> (8804)

him sons
<01121>

or daughters
<01323>_;

the wife
<0802>

and her children
<03206>

shall be her master's
<0113>_,

and he shall go out
<03318> (8799)

by himself
<01610>_.

And if the servant
<05650>

shall plainly
<0559> (8800)

say
<0559> (8799)_,

I love
<0157> (8804)

my master
<0113>_,

my wife
<0802>_,

and my children
<01121>_;

I will not go out
<03318> (8799)

free
<02670>_:

{shall...: Heb. saying shall say}

Then his master
<0113>

shall bring
<05066> (8689)

him unto the judges
<0430>_;

he shall also bring
<05066> (8689)

him to the door
<01817>_,

or unto the door post
<04201>_;

and his master
<0113>

shall bore
<07527> (8804)

his ear
<0241>

through with an aul
<04836>_;

and he shall serve
<05647> (8804)

him for ever
<05769>_.

And if a man
<0376>

sell
<04376> (8799)

his daughter
<01323>

to be a maidservant
<0519>_,

she shall not go out
<03318> (8799)

as the menservants
<05650>

do
<03318> (8800)_.

If she please
<07451> <05869>

not her master
<0113>_,

who hath betrothed
<03259> (8804)

her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed
<06299> (8689)_:

to sell
<04376> (8800)

her unto a strange
<05237>

nation
<05971>

he shall have no power
<04910> (8799)_,

seeing he hath dealt deceitfully
<0898> (8800)

with her. {please...: Heb. be evil in the eyes of, etc}

And if he have betrothed
<03259> (8799)

her unto his son
<01121>_,

he shall deal
<06213> (8799)

with her after the manner
<04941>

of daughters
<01323>_.

If he take
<03947> (8799)

him another
<0312>

[wife]; her food
<07607>_,

her raiment
<03682>_,

and her duty of marriage
<05772>_,

shall he not diminish
<01639> (8799)_.

And if he do
<06213> (8799)

not these three
<07969>

unto her, then shall she go out
<03318> (8804)

free
<02600>

without money
<03701>_.

He that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

a man
<0376>_,

so that he die
<04191> (8804)_,

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

And if a man lie not in wait
<06658> (8804)_,

but God
<0430>

deliver
<0579> (8765)

[him] into his hand
<03027>_;

then I will appoint
<07760> (8804)

thee a place
<04725>

whither he shall flee
<05127> (8799)_.

But if a man
<0376>

come presumptuously
<02102> (8686)

upon his neighbour
<07453>_,

to slay
<02026> (8800)

him with guile
<06195>_;

thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

him from mine altar
<04196>_,

that he may die
<04191> (8800)_.

And he that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

his father
<01>_,

or his mother
<0517>_,

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

And he that stealeth
<01589> (8802)

a man
<0376>_,

and selleth
<04376> (8804)

him, or if he be found
<04672> (8738)

in his hand
<03027>_,

he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

And he that curseth
<07043> (8764)

his father
<01>_,

or his mother
<0517>_,

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

{curseth: or, revileth}

And if men
<0582>

strive
<07378> (8799)

together, and one
<0376>

smite
<05221> (8689)

another
<07453>

with a stone
<068>_,

or
<0176>

with [his] fist
<0106>_,

and he die
<04191> (8799)

not, but keepeth
<05307> (8804)

[his] bed
<04904>_:

{another: or, his neighbour}

If he rise again
<06965> (8799)_,

and walk
<01980> (8694)

abroad
<02351>

upon his staff
<04938>_,

then shall he that smote
<05221> (8688)

[him] be quit
<05352> (8738)_:

only he shall pay
<05414> (8799)

[for] the loss of his time
<07674>_,

and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly
<07495> (8763)

healed
<07495> (8762)_.

{the loss...: Heb. his ceasing}

And if a man
<0376>

smite
<05221> (8686)

his servant
<05650>_,

or his maid
<0519>_,

with a rod
<07626>_,

and he die
<04191> (8804)

under his hand
<03027>_;

he shall be surely
<05358> (8800)

punished
<05358> (8735)_.

{punished: Heb. avenged}

Notwithstanding
<0389>_,

if he continue
<05975> (8799)

a day
<03117>

or two
<08147>_,

he shall not be punished
<05358> (8714)_:

for he [is] his money
<03701>_.

If men
<0582>

strive
<05327> (8735)_,

and hurt
<05062> (8804)

a woman
<0802>

with child
<02030>_,

so that her fruit
<03206>

depart
<03318> (8804)

[from her], and yet no mischief follow
<0611>_:

he shall be surely
<06064> (8800)

punished
<06064> (8735)_,

according as the woman's
<0802>

husband
<01167>

will lay
<07896> (8799)

upon him; and he shall pay
<05414> (8804)

as the judges
<06414>

[determine].

And if [any] mischief follow

of his servant
<05650>_,

or the eye
<05869>

of his maid
<0519>_,

that it perish
<07843> (8765)_;

he shall let him go
<07971> (8762)

free
<02670>

for
<08478>

his eye's
<05869>

sake.

And if he smite

<05650>

tooth
<08127>_,

or his maidservant's
<0519>

tooth

<08543> <08032>_,

and it hath been testified
<05749> (8717)

to his owner
<01167>_,

and he hath not kept
<08104> (8799)

him in, but that he hath killed
<04191> (8689)

a man
<0376>

or a woman
<0802>_;

the ox
<07794>

<04191> (8714)_.

He that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)

unto [any] god
<0430>_,

save
<01115>

unto the LORD
<03068>

only, he shall be utterly destroyed
<02763> (8714)_.

Thou shalt neither vex
<03238> (8686)

a stranger
<01616>_,

nor oppress
<03905> (8799)

him: for ye were strangers
<01616>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

Ye shall not afflict
<06031> (8762)

any widow
<0490>_,

or fatherless child
<03490>_.

If
<0518>

thou afflict
<06031> (8762)

them in any wise
<06031> (8763)_,

and they cry
<06817> (8799)

at all
<06817> (8800)

unto me, I will surely
<08085> (8800)

hear
<08085> (8799)

their cry
<06818>_;

And my wrath
<0639>

shall wax hot
<02734> (8804)_,

and I will kill
<02026> (8804)

you with the sword
<02719>_;

and your wives
<0802>

shall be widows
<0490>_,

and your children
<01121>

fatherless
<03490>_.

If thou lend
<03867> (8686)

money
<03701>

to [any of] my people
<05971>

[that is] poor
<06041>

by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer
<05383> (8802)_,

neither shalt thou lay
<07760> (8799)

upon him usury
<05392>_.

If thou at all
<02254> (8800)

take
<02254> (0)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

raiment
<08008>

to pledge
<02254> (8799)_,

thou shalt deliver
<07725> (8686)

it unto him by
<05704>

that the sun
<08121>

goeth down
<0935> (8800)_:

For that [is] his covering
<03682>

only, it [is] his raiment
<08071>

for his skin
<05785>_:

wherein shall he sleep
<07901> (8799)_?

and it shall come to pass, when he crieth
<06817> (8799)

unto me, that I will hear
<08085> (8804)_;

for I [am] gracious
<02587>_.

Thou shalt not revile
<07043> (8762)

the gods
<0430>_,

nor curse
<0779> (8799)

the ruler
<05387>

of thy people
<05971>_.

{gods: or, judges}

Thou shalt not delay
<0309> (8762)

[to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits
<04395>_,

and of thy liquors
<01831>_:

the firstborn
<01060>

of thy sons
<01121>

shalt thou give
<05414> (8799)

unto me. {the first...: Heb. thy fulness} {liquors: Heb. tear}

Likewise
<03651>

shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)

with thine oxen
<07794>_,

[and] with thy sheep
<06629>_:

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

it shall be with his dam
<0517>_;

on the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)

it me.

And ye shall be holy
<06944>

men
<0582>

unto me: neither shall ye eat
<0398> (8799)

[any] flesh
<01320>

[that is] torn of beasts
<02966>

in the field
<07704>_;

ye shall cast
<07993> (8686)

it to the dogs
<03611>_.

Thou shalt not raise
<05375> (8799)

a false
<07723>

report
<08088>_:

put
<07896> (8799)

not thine hand
<03027>

with the wicked
<07563>

to be an unrighteous
<02555>

witness
<05707>_.

{raise: or, receive}

Thou shalt not follow
<0310>

a multitude
<07227>

to [do] evil
<07451>_;

neither shalt thou speak
<06030> (8799)

in a cause
<07379>

to decline
<05186> (8800)

after
<0310>

many
<07227>

to wrest
<05186> (8687)

[judgment]: {speak: Heb. answer}

Neither shalt thou countenance
<01921> (8799)

a poor
<01800>

man in his cause
<07379>_.

If thou meet
<06293> (8799)

thine enemy's
<0341> (8802)

ox
<07794>

or his ass
<02543>

going astray
<08582> (8802)_,

thou shalt surely
<07725> (8687)

bring it back
<07725> (0)

to him again
<07725> (8686)_.

If thou see
<07200> (8799)

the ass
<02543>

of him that hateth
<08130> (8802)

thee lying
<07257> (8802)

under his burden
<04853>_,

and wouldest forbear
<02308> (8804)

to help
<05800> (8800)

him, thou shalt surely
<05800> (8800)

help
<05800> (8799)

with him. {and...: or, wilt thou cease to help him? or, and wouldest cease to leave thy business for him: thou shalt surely leave it to join with him}

Thou shalt not wrest
<05186> (8686)

the judgment
<04941>

of thy poor
<034>

in his cause
<07379>_.

Keep thee far
<07368> (8799)

from a false
<08267>

matter
<01697>_;

and the innocent
<05355>

and righteous
<06662>

slay
<02026> (8799)

thou not: for I will not justify
<06663> (8686)

the wicked
<07563>_.

And thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

no gift
<07810>_:

for the gift
<07810>

blindeth
<05786> (8762)

the wise
<06493>_,

and perverteth
<05557> (8762)

the words
<01697>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

{the wise: Heb. the seeing}

Also thou shalt not oppress
<03905> (8799)

a stranger
<01616>_:

for ye know
<03045> (8804)

the heart
<05315>

of a stranger
<01616>_,

seeing
<03588>

ye were strangers
<01616>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{heart: Heb. soul}

And six
<08337>

years
<08141>

thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)

thy land
<0776>_,

and shalt gather
<0622> (8804)

in the fruits
<08393>

thereof:

But the seventh
<07637>

[year] thou shalt let it rest
<08058> (8799)

and lie
<05203> (8804)

still; that the poor
<034>

of thy people
<05971>

may eat
<0398> (8804)_:

and what they leave
<03499>

the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)_.

In like manner thou shalt deal
<06213> (8799)

with thy vineyard
<03754>_,

[and] with thy oliveyard
<02132>_.

{oliveyard: or, olive trees}

Six
<08337>

days
<03117>

thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

thy work
<04639>_,

and on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

thou shalt rest
<07673> (8799)_:

that thine ox
<07794>

and thine ass
<02543>

may rest
<05117> (8799)_,

and the son
<01121>

of thy handmaid
<0519>_,

and the stranger
<01616>_,

may be refreshed
<05314> (8735)_.

And in all [things] that I have said
<0559> (8804)

unto you be circumspect
<08104> (8735)_:

and make no mention
<02142> (8686)

of the name
<08034>

of other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

neither let it be heard
<08085> (8735)

out
<05921>

of thy mouth
<06310>_.
