Exodus 21:1-20

21:1

Now these [are] the judgments
<04941>

which thou shalt set
<07760> (8799)

before
<06440>

them.

21:2

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>_.

21:3

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}

21:4

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>_.

21:5

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}

21:6

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>_.

21:7

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)_.

21:8

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}

21:9

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>_.

21:10

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)_.

21:11

And if he do
<06213> (8799)

not these three
<07969>

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

free
<02600>

without money
<03701>_.

21:12

He that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

a man
<0376>_,

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

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

21:13

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)_.

21:14

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)_.

21:15

And he that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

his father
<01>_,

or his mother
<0517>_,

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

21:16

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)_.

21:17

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}

21:18

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}

21:19

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}

21:20

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}
