Exodus 21

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

1 Now these are the rights which thou shalt set before them.

1 “These are the laws you are to set before them:

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

5 And if the slave shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free.

5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’

6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.

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.

7 And if a man should sell his daughter to be a maidslave, she shall not go out as the menslaves do.

7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do.

8 If she pleases not her master, who therefore took her not unto himself to wife, then it is permitted that she be ransomed; and he may not sell her unto a strange nation when he rejects her.

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.

9 And if he has betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

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

10 If he takes another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.

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

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

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

12 He that smites a man so that he dies shall be surely put to death.

12 “Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death.

13 And if a man did not lie in wait but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee.

13 However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate.

14 But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbour to slay him with prudence, thou shalt take him from my altar that he may die.

14 But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death.

15 And he that smites his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

15 “Anyone who attacks their father or mother is to be put to death.

16 Likewise he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession.

17 In the same manner he that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

17 “Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.

18 And if men strive together and one smites another with a stone or with his fist and he dies not, but keeps his bed,

18 “If people quarrel and one person hits another with a stone or with their fist and the victim does not die but is confined to bed,

19 if he rises again and walks abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be absolved, only he shall pay for the loss of his time and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

19 the one who struck the blow will not be held liable if the other can get up and walk around outside with a staff; however, the guilty party must pay the injured person for any loss of time and see that the victim is completely healed.

20 And if a man smites his slave or his maid with a rod and he dies under his hand, he shall be surely punished.

20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result,

21 Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.

21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

22 If men strive and hurt a woman with child so that she aborts but without death, he shall be surely punished according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him, and he shall pay by the judges.

22 “If people are fighting and 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.

23 And if there is death, then thou shalt pay life for life,

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

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

25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

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

26 And if someone smites the eye of their slave or the eye of their maid that it perishes, he shall let them go free for their eye’s sake.

26 “An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye.

27 And if he smites out his manslave’s tooth or his maidslave’s tooth, he shall let them go free for their tooth’s sake.

27 And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.

28 If an ox gores a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be absolved.

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

29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

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 is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death.

30 If there is laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him.

30 However, if payment is demanded, the owner may redeem his life by the payment of whatever is demanded.

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

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

32 If the ox shall gore a manslave or a maidslave, he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

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 is to be stoned to death.

33 And if someone shall open a pit or if someone shall dig a pit and not cover it and an ox or an ass falls in it,

33 “If anyone uncovers a pit or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

34 the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto their owner, and the dead beast shall be his.

34 the one who opened the pit must pay the owner for the loss and take the dead animal in exchange.

35 And if one man’s ox hurts another’s that he dies; then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it, and the dead ox they shall also divide.

35 “If anyone’s bull injures someone else’s bull and it dies, the two parties are to sell the live one and divide both the money and the dead animal equally.

36 Or if it is known that the ox used to push in time past and his owner has not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.

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 take the dead animal in exchange.
