Hebrew servants
Now these are the judgments you'll set before them. If you buy a Hebrew servant, he'll serve six years. And in the seventh he'll go out free for nothing. 'If he came in alone, he may go out alone. If he was married, his wife may go out with him.' 'If his master gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the wife and her children belong to the master, and the servant goes out alone.' If the servant plainly says: I love my master, my wife and my children. I won't go out free — Then his master will bring him to the judges. And he'll bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master will bore his ear through with an awl. And he'll serve him forever. 'If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she must not go free in the same way as the male servants.' If she doesn't please her master, who's promised her to himself, then he'll let her be redeemed. He won't have the power to sell her to a foreign nation, seeing he's dealt falsely with her. If he has promised her in marriage to his son, he must treat her according to the rights of daughters.' If he takes himself another wife, he won't take away her food, her clothing and her rights as a wife. If he doesn't do these three things for her, then she'll go out free, with no money.
Now these are the judgments you'll set in front of them. If you buy a Hebrew servant, he'll serve six years. And in the seventh he'll go out free for nothing. If he came in on his own, he'll go out on his own. If he was married, then his wife will go out with him. If his master has given him a wife and she's had him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will be her master's, and he'll go out on his own. And if the servant plainly says: I love my master, my wife and my children. I won't go out free — then his master will bring him to the judges. And he'll bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master will bore his ear through with an awl. And he'll serve him forever. And if a man sells his daughter to be a servant, she won't go out the way the male servants do. If she doesn't please her master, who's promised her to himself, then he'll let her be bought back. He won't have the power to sell her to a foreign nation, seeing he's dealt falsely with her. And if he's promised her to his son, he'll deal with her the way daughters are dealt with. If he takes himself another wife, he won't take away her food, her clothing and her rights as a wife. And if he doesn't do these three things for her, then she'll go out free, with no money.
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 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 for ever. And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Now these are the judgments you'll set before them.

Violence and its payment
Whoever strikes a man so he dies will surely be put to death. If a man doesn't lie in wait, but God hands him over into his hand, then I'll set you a place where he can run to. But if a man comes proudly on his neighbour to kill him with cunning, you'll take him from my altar so he can die. And whoever strikes his father or his mother will surely be put to death. And whoever steals a man and sells him, or if he's found in his hand, will surely be put to death. And whoever curses his father or his mother will surely be put to death. If men fight and one strikes another with a stone or with his fist, and he doesn't die but has to keep to his bed — If he gets up again and walks about outside on his staff, then the one who struck him will be clear. Only he'll pay for the loss of his time and have him fully healed. If a man strikes his servant or his servant woman with a staff and they die under his hand, he'll be punished for sure. But if they go on a day or two, he won't be punished. Because they're his property. 'If men fight and injure a pregnant woman so that her child is born, but no further harm follows, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.' If any harm follows, then you'll give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow. If a man strikes the eye of his servant or the eye of his servant woman so it's destroyed, he'll let them go free for the eye's sake. If he knocks out his servant's tooth or his servant woman's tooth, he'll let them go free for the tooth's sake.

But if they go on a day or two, he won't be punished. Because they're his money.

He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee. But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake. And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.

The goring ox
If an ox gores a man or a woman so they die, then the ox will be stoned for sure, and its flesh won't be eaten. But the owner of the ox will be clear. But if the ox has been in the habit of goring in time past, and its owner has been warned and didn't keep it in, so it's killed a man or a woman — the ox will be stoned, and its owner will be put to death too. If a payment is laid on him, then he'll give whatever is laid on him as the ransom for his life. Whether it's gored a son or gored a daughter, it'll be done to him according to this judgment. If the ox gores a servant or a servant woman, he'll give thirty shekels of silver to their master, and the ox will be stoned. If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it — The owner of the pit will make it good and give money to their owner, and the dead animal will be his. If one man's ox hurts another's so it dies, then they'll sell the live ox and divide the money of it. And they'll divide the dead one too. Or if it's known the ox has been in the habit of goring in time past and its owner hasn't kept it in, he'll definitely pay ox for ox. And the dead one will be his.
