¹ And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

² If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

³ If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.

⁴ If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.

⁵ But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;

⁶ then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.

⁷ And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.

⁸ If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.

⁹ And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.

¹⁰ If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.

¹¹ And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

¹² He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.

¹³ But if he have not lain in wait, and God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.

¹⁴ But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

¹⁵ And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁶ And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁷ And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁸ And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

¹⁹ -- if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

²⁰ And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

²¹ Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.

²² And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.

²³ But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,

²⁴ eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵ branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

²⁶ And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.

²⁷ And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.

²⁸ And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless.

²⁹ But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, -- the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

³⁰ If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.

³¹ Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.

³² If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³³ -- And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall into it,

³⁴ the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.

³⁵ -- And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.

³⁶ Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.

¹ He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.

² A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.

³ An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah for ever;

⁴ because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

⁵ But Jehovah thy God would not listen to Balaam; and Jehovah thy God turned the curse into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.

⁶ Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

⁷ Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.

⁸ Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation.

⁹ When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing.

¹⁰ If there be with thee a man that is not clean from what hath happened in the night, then shall he go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp;

¹¹ and it shall be, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the going down of the sun he may come inside the camp.

¹² Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, and shalt go forth thither.

¹³ And thou shalt have a shovel amongst thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which is come from thee.

¹⁴ For Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; and thy camp shall be holy, that he see nothing unseemly with thee, and turn away from thee.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not hand over to his master a bondman that hath escaped from his master unto thee:

¹⁶ he shall dwell with thee, even in thy midst, in the place that he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it seemeth good to him; thou shalt not oppress him.

¹⁷ There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst the sons of Israel.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.

¹⁹ Thou shalt take no interest of thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that can be lent upon interest:

²⁰ of a foreigner thou mayest take interest, but of thy brother thou shalt not take interest; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

²¹ When thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not delay to perform it; for Jehovah thy God will certainly require it of thee, and it shall be sin in thee.

²² But if thou forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

²³ What is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth.

²⁴ When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy fill, according to thy desire, but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

²⁵ When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not wave the sickle against thy neighbour's standing corn.
