1 Then|strong="H7760" God said to|strong="H6440" Moses, “These|strong="H0428" are|strong="H0834" the|strong="H6440" other|strong="H0428" laws that|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0834" give|strong="H7760" to|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" people|strong="H0834":
2 “If|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" buy|strong="H7069" a|strong="H3588" Hebrew|strong="H5680" slave|strong="H5650", then|strong="H3318" that|strong="H3588" slave|strong="H5650" will|strong="H5650" serve|strong="H5647" for|strong="H3588" only six|strong="H8337" years|strong="H8141". After|strong="H3588" six|strong="H8337" years|strong="H8141", he|strong="H3588" will|strong="H5650" be|strong="H5650" free|strong="H2670", and|strong="H5650" he|strong="H3588" will|strong="H5650" have|strong="H5650" to|strong="H5650" pay|strong="H2600" nothing|strong="H2600".
3 If|strong="H0518" he|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" not|strong="H0518" married|strong="H0802" when|strong="H0518" he|strong="H1931" becomes your|strong="H0935" slave, when|strong="H0518" he|strong="H1931" becomes free|strong="H3318", he|strong="H1931" will|strong="H0802" leave|strong="H3318" without a|strong="H0518" wife|strong="H0802". But|strong="H0518" if|strong="H0518" the|strong="H0935" man|strong="H1167" is|strong="H1931" married|strong="H0802" when|strong="H0518" he|strong="H1931" becomes your|strong="H0935" slave, then|strong="H3318" he|strong="H1931" will|strong="H0802" keep|strong="H0935" his|strong="H0935" wife|strong="H0802" at|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" time|strong="H3318" he|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" made|strong="H0802" free|strong="H3318".
4 If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H5414" slave is|strong="H1931" not|strong="H0518" married|strong="H0802", the|strong="H5414" master|strong="H0113" can|strong="H0518" give|strong="H5414" him|strong="H5414" a|strong="H1961" wife|strong="H0802". If|strong="H0518" that|strong="H1931" wife|strong="H0802" gives|strong="H5414" birth|strong="H3205" to|strong="H1961" sons|strong="H1121" or|strong="H0176" daughters|strong="H1323", she|strong="H1931" and|strong="H1121" her|strong="H0802" children|strong="H1121" will|strong="H1961" belong|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" the|strong="H5414" master|strong="H0113". After|strong="H1961" the|strong="H5414" slave is|strong="H1931" finished with|strong="H0802" his|strong="H5414" years of|strong="H1121" service, he|strong="H1931" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" made|strong="H5414" free|strong="H3318".
5 “But|strong="H0518" if|strong="H0518" the|strong="H0853" slave|strong="H5650" decides that|strong="H0559" he|strong="H0518" wants to|strong="H0559" stay with|strong="H0802" the|strong="H0853" master|strong="H0113", he|strong="H0518" must|strong="H0853" say|strong="H0559", ‘I|strong="H0518" love|strong="H0157" my|strong="H3318" master|strong="H0113". I|strong="H0518" love|strong="H0157" my|strong="H3318" wife|strong="H0802" and|strong="H1121" my|strong="H3318" children|strong="H1121".

6 If|strong="H0176" this happens, the|strong="H0853" master|strong="H0113" will|strong="H0430" bring|strong="H5066" the|strong="H0853" slave|strong="H5647" before|strong="H0413" God|strong="H0430". The|strong="H0853" master|strong="H0113" will|strong="H0430" take the|strong="H0853" slave|strong="H5647" to|strong="H0413" a|strong="H0176" door|strong="H1817" or|strong="H0176" the|strong="H0853" wooden frame around the|strong="H0853" door|strong="H1817" and|strong="H0430" pierce|strong="H7527" the|strong="H0853" slave’s ear|strong="H0241" using a|strong="H0176" sharp tool to|strong="H0413" show that|strong="H0176" the|strong="H0853" slave|strong="H5647" will|strong="H0430" serve|strong="H5647" that|strong="H0176" master|strong="H0113" for|strong="H0413" all|strong="H5769" his|strong="H0176" life.
7 “A|strong="H3588" man|strong="H0376" might|strong="H1323" decide|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0376" sell|strong="H4376" his|strong="H0376" daughter|strong="H1323" as|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3588" slave|strong="H5650". If|strong="H3588" this|strong="H3588" happens, the|strong="H0853" rules for|strong="H3588" making her|strong="H3588" free|strong="H3318" are|strong="H0376" not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H0853" same|strong="H0853" as|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" rules for|strong="H3588" making the|strong="H0853" men|strong="H0376" slaves|strong="H5650" free|strong="H3318".
8 If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H0834" master|strong="H0113" who|strong="H0834" chose her|strong="H0518" for|strong="H0518" himself|strong="H3808" is|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" pleased|strong="H5869" with|strong="H5869" her|strong="H0518", then|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0518" sell|strong="H4376" the|strong="H0834" woman|strong="H5237" back to|strong="H5869" her|strong="H0518" father. If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H0834" master|strong="H0113" broke his|strong="H0834" promise to|strong="H5869" marry her|strong="H0518", he|strong="H0834" loses the|strong="H0834" right|strong="H5869" to|strong="H5869" sell|strong="H4376" her|strong="H0518" to|strong="H5869" other people|strong="H5971".
9 If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H0518" master promised to|strong="H1121" let the|strong="H0518" slave woman|strong="H1323" marry his|strong="H0518" son|strong="H1121", he|strong="H0518" must|strong="H0518" treat|strong="H6213" her|strong="H0518" like|strong="H1323" a|strong="H0518" daughter|strong="H1323", not|strong="H0518" like|strong="H1323" a|strong="H0518" slave.
10 “If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H3947" master marries|strong="H3947" another|strong="H0312" woman|strong="H0312", he|strong="H0518" must|strong="H0518" not|strong="H3808" give|strong="H3947" less food|strong="H7607" or|strong="H0518" clothing|strong="H3682" to|strong="H0312" the|strong="H3947" first|strong="H0312" wife. And|strong="H3947" he|strong="H0518" must|strong="H0518" continue to|strong="H0312" give|strong="H3947" her|strong="H3947" what she|strong="H0518" has|strong="H0518" a|strong="H3947" right to|strong="H0312" have|strong="H0518" in|strong="H3808" marriage.
11 The|strong="H0518" man|strong="H0369" must|strong="H0518" do|strong="H6213" these|strong="H0428" three|strong="H7969" things|strong="H0428" for|strong="H0518" her|strong="H0518". If|strong="H0518" he|strong="H0518" does|strong="H6213" not|strong="H3808", the|strong="H0518" woman is|strong="H0369" made|strong="H6213" free|strong="H3318", and|strong="H3701" it|strong="H0518" will|strong="H0369" cost|strong="H2600" her|strong="H0518" nothing|strong="H3808". She|strong="H0518" owes no|strong="H3808" money|strong="H3701" to|strong="H0369" the|strong="H0518" man|strong="H0369".
12 “Whoever|strong="H4191" hits and|strong="H0376" kills|strong="H5221" someone|strong="H0376" must|strong="H4191" be|strong="H4191" killed|strong="H5221" too.
13 But|strong="H3808" if|strong="H0834" an|strong="H7760" accident happens, and|strong="H0430" a|strong="H7760" person|strong="H3027" kills someone without|strong="H3808" planning it|strong="H7760", then|strong="H7760" God|strong="H0430" allowed that|strong="H0834" thing to|strong="H3027" happen. I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0430" choose some|strong="H8033" special places|strong="H4725" where|strong="H0834" people|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834" run|strong="H5127" to|strong="H3027" for|strong="H3027" safety. So|strong="H3808" that|strong="H0834" person|strong="H3027" can|strong="H0834" run|strong="H5127" to|strong="H3027" one|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0430" those|strong="H0834" places|strong="H4725".
14 But|strong="H3588" whoever|strong="H4191" plans to|strong="H4191" kill|strong="H2026" someone|strong="H0376" out|strong="H5921" of|strong="H0376" anger or|strong="H0376" hatred must|strong="H4191" be|strong="H4191" punished.

18 “Two|strong="H5221" men|strong="H0376" might argue|strong="H7378" and|strong="H0376" one|strong="H0376" might hit|strong="H5221" the|strong="H0853" other|strong="H7453" with|strong="H0376" a|strong="H3588" rock|strong="H0068" or|strong="H0176" with|strong="H0376" his|strong="H0376" fist|strong="H0106". If|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" man|strong="H0376" who|strong="H0376" was|strong="H0376" hurt is|strong="H0376" not|strong="H3808" killed|strong="H5221", the|strong="H0853" man|strong="H0376" who|strong="H0376" hurt him|strong="H5221" should|strong="H0376" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H4191" killed|strong="H5221".
19 If|strong="H0518" the|strong="H5921" man was|strong="H5414" hurt and|strong="H1980" must|strong="H0518" stay in|strong="H5921" bed for|strong="H5921" some time|strong="H7674", the|strong="H5921" man who|strong="H5221" hurt him|strong="H5414" must|strong="H0518" support him|strong="H5414". The|strong="H5921" man who|strong="H5221" hurt him|strong="H5414" must|strong="H0518" pay|strong="H5414" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" loss|strong="H7674" of|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5414" time|strong="H7674". He|strong="H0518" must|strong="H0518" support him|strong="H5414" until|strong="H5921" he|strong="H0518" is|strong="H0518" completely|strong="H5352" healed|strong="H7495".
20 “Sometimes people|strong="H0376" beat|strong="H5221" their|strong="H3588" slaves|strong="H5650". If|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" slave|strong="H5650" dies|strong="H4191" after|strong="H3588" being beaten|strong="H5221", the|strong="H0853" killer must|strong="H4191" be|strong="H4191" punished|strong="H5358".
21 But|strong="H3588" if|strong="H0518" the|strong="H3588" slave gets up|strong="H5975" after|strong="H3117" a|strong="H3588" few days|strong="H3117", then|strong="H5975" the|strong="H3588" master will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" punished|strong="H5358". That|strong="H3588" is|strong="H1931" because|strong="H3588" someone paid their|strong="H3588" money|strong="H3701" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" slave, and|strong="H3701" the|strong="H3588" slave belongs to|strong="H3117" them|strong="H5975".
22 “Two|strong="H3808" men|strong="H0376" might|strong="H0834" be|strong="H1961" fighting|strong="H5327" and|strong="H0376" hurt a|strong="H1961" pregnant|strong="H2030" woman|strong="H0802". This|strong="H3588" might|strong="H0834" make|strong="H5414" the|strong="H0834" woman|strong="H0802" give|strong="H5414" birth|strong="H3808" to|strong="H1961" her|strong="H5921" baby before|strong="H5921" its|strong="H5414" time|strong="H1961". If|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0834" woman|strong="H0802" was|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" hurt badly, the|strong="H0834" man|strong="H0376" who|strong="H0834" hurt her|strong="H5921" must|strong="H3808" pay|strong="H5414" a|strong="H1961" fine|strong="H6064". The|strong="H0834" woman’s|strong="H0802" husband|strong="H0376" will|strong="H1961" decide|strong="H3318" how|strong="H0834" much|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0834" man|strong="H0376" must|strong="H3808" pay|strong="H5414".

You|strong="H0518" should|strong="H0376" kill|strong="H4191" the|strong="H0518" bull|strong="H7794" with|strong="H0376" stones|strong="H5619" and|strong="H0376" also|strong="H1571" kill|strong="H4191" the|strong="H0518" owner|strong="H1167".
30 But|strong="H0518" the|strong="H3605" family of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" dead|strong="H5315" man|strong="H5315" may|strong="H0834" accept money. If|strong="H0518" they|strong="H0834" accept money, the|strong="H3605" man|strong="H5315" who|strong="H0834" owned the|strong="H3605" bull should|strong="H0518" not|strong="H0518" be|strong="H5315" killed. But|strong="H0518" he|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0518" pay|strong="H5414" as|strong="H0834" much|strong="H0834" money as|strong="H0834" the|strong="H3605" judge decides.
31 “This|strong="H2088" same|strong="H2088" law must|strong="H1121" be|strong="H1121" followed if|strong="H0176" the|strong="H0176" bull kills someone’s son|strong="H1121" or|strong="H0176" daughter|strong="H1323".
32 But|strong="H0518" if|strong="H0518" the|strong="H5414" bull|strong="H7794" kills a|strong="H5414" slave|strong="H5650", the|strong="H5414" owner|strong="H0113" of|strong="H5650" the|strong="H5414" animal must|strong="H0518" pay|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" master|strong="H0113" 30 pieces|strong="H8255" of|strong="H5650" silver|strong="H3701". And|strong="H3701" the|strong="H5414" bull|strong="H7794" must|strong="H0518" also|strong="H0176" be|strong="H0113" killed with|strong="H0176" stones|strong="H5619". This|strong="H0518" law will|strong="H5650" be|strong="H0113" the|strong="H5414" same for|strong="H0518" men|strong="H5650" and|strong="H3701" women slaves|strong="H5650".
33 “A|strong="H3588" man|strong="H0376" might take|strong="H3680" a|strong="H3588" cover|strong="H3680" off a|strong="H3588" well or|strong="H0176" dig|strong="H3738" a|strong="H3588" hole and|strong="H0376" not|strong="H3808" cover|strong="H3680" it|strong="H3588". If|strong="H3588" another|strong="H0376" man’s|strong="H0376" animal comes and|strong="H0376" falls|strong="H5307" into|strong="H0376" that|strong="H3588" hole, the|strong="H3588" man|strong="H0376" who|strong="H0376" owns the|strong="H3588" hole is|strong="H0376" guilty.
34 The|strong="H7725" man|strong="H1167" who|strong="H1167" owns the|strong="H7725" hole must|strong="H4191" pay|strong="H7999" for|strong="H4191" the|strong="H7725" animal|strong="H1961". But|strong="H1961" after|strong="H1961" he|strong="H7725" pays|strong="H7725" for|strong="H4191" the|strong="H7725" animal|strong="H1961", he|strong="H7725" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" allowed to|strong="H4191" keep the|strong="H7725" body|strong="H4191" of|strong="H1167" that|strong="H1961" animal|strong="H1961".
35 “If|strong="H3588" one|strong="H0376" man’s|strong="H0376" bull|strong="H7794" kills|strong="H4191" another|strong="H7453" man’s|strong="H0376" bull|strong="H7794", they|strong="H3588" should|strong="H0376" sell|strong="H4376" the|strong="H0853" bull|strong="H7794" that|strong="H3588" is|strong="H1571" alive|strong="H2416". Both|strong="H1571" men|strong="H0376" will|strong="H0376" get half|strong="H2673" of|strong="H0376" the|strong="H0853" money|strong="H3701" that|strong="H3588" comes from|strong="H0376" selling|strong="H4376" the|strong="H0853" bull|strong="H7794", and|strong="H3701" both|strong="H1571" men|strong="H0376" will|strong="H0376" also|strong="H1571" get half|strong="H2673" of|strong="H0376" the|strong="H0853" bull|strong="H7794" that|strong="H3588" was|strong="H0376" killed|strong="H4191".
36 But|strong="H3588" if|strong="H3588" a|strong="H1961" man’s bull|strong="H7794" has|strong="H1961" hurt other animals|strong="H1961" in|strong="H4191" the|strong="H3588" past|strong="H8543", that|strong="H3588" owner|strong="H1167" is|strong="H1931" responsible for|strong="H3588" his|strong="H8104" bull|strong="H7794". If|strong="H3588" his|strong="H8104" bull|strong="H7794" kills|strong="H4191" another|strong="H3808" bull|strong="H7794", he|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" guilty because|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" allowed the|strong="H3588" bull|strong="H7794" to|strong="H4191" be|strong="H1961" free. That|strong="H3588" man|strong="H1167" must|strong="H4191" pay|strong="H7999" bull|strong="H7794" for|strong="H3588" bull|strong="H7794".
