Êxodo 21 - Bíblia Online

Dette er de lover som du skal legge frem for dem: 
Når du kjøper en hebraisk træl, skal han tjene i seks år; men i det syvende skal han gis fri uten vederlag. 
Dersom han kommer enslig, da skal han gå enslig bort; dersom han er gift mann, da skal hans hustru gå bort med ham. 
Dersom hans herre gir ham en hustru, og hun føder ham sønner eller døtre, da skal hustruen og barna høre hennes herre til, og han skal gå enslig bort. 
Men dersom trælen sier: Jeg holder av min herre, min hustru og mine barn, jeg vil ikke være fri og gå bort, 
da skal hans herre føre ham frem for Gud* og stille ham ved døren eller ved dørstolpen, og hans herre skal stikke en syl gjennem hans øre, og han skal tjene ham all sin tid. / {* d.e. de av Gud innsatte dommere.} 
Når nogen selger sin datter til trælkvinne, da skal hun ikke gis fri som trælene. 
Dersom hun mishager sin herre, som hadde utsett henne for sig selv, da skal han la henne få kjøpe sig fri; til et fremmed folk skal han ikke ha rett til å selge henne, siden han har vært troløs mot henne. 
Men dersom han utser henne for sin sønn, da skal han unne henne døtres rett. 
Dersom han lar ham få en annen foruten henne, da skal han ikke avkorte noget i hennes kost, klær eller ekteskapsrett. 
Men dersom han ikke lar henne få disse tre ting, da skal hun gis fri for intet, uten vederlag. 
Den som slår et menneske så det dør, han skal visselig late livet. 
Men hvis han ikke har stått ham efter livet, men det er Gud som har latt ham komme ut for hans hånd, da vil jeg sette dig et fristed som han kan ty til. 
Men om nogen bærer sig så formastelig at, at han dreper sin næste med svik, da skal du ta ham om det så var fra mitt alter: han skal dø. 
Den som slår sin far eller sin mor, skal visselig late livet. 
Den som stjeler et menneske og selger ham eller holder ham fanget, skal visselig late livet. 
Den som banner sin far eller sin mor, skal visselig late livet. 
Når menn kommer i trette, og den ene slår den andre med en sten eller med neven, og han ikke dør, men blir sengeliggende - 
dersom han da kommer op igjen og går ute med stav, da skal den som slo, være fri for straff; men han skal gi ham vederlag for den tid han har tapt, og koste full lægedom på ham. 
Når nogen slår sin træl eller trælkvinne med en stokk så de dør under hans hånd, da skal han straffes for det. 
Men dersom de blir i live én eller to dager, skal han ikke straffes; de er jo hans eiendom. 
Når menn kommer i slagsmål med hverandre og støter til en fruktsommelig kvinne, så hun føder i utide, men ellers ingen ulykke skjer, så skal den som gjorde det, gi den bot som kvinnens mann pålegger ham; han skal gi efter dommeres skjønn. 
Men dersom det skjer en ulykke, da skal du gi liv for liv, 
øie for øie, tann for tann, hånd for hånd, fot for fot, 
brent for brent, sår for sår, skramme for skramme. 
Når nogen slår sin træl eller trælkvinne i øiet og forderver det, da skal han gi dem fri til vederlag for øiet. 
Og dersom han slår ut en tann på sin træl eller trælkvinne, da skal han gi dem fri til vederlag for tannen. 
Om en okse stanger mann eller kvinne så de dør, da skal oksen stenes, og dens kjøtt skal ikke etes; men oksens eier skal være fri for straff. 
Men dersom det er en okse som før har pleid å stange, og dens eier er advart, men ikke passer på den, og den dreper mann eller kvinne, da skal oksen stenes, og dens eier skal også lide døden. 
Men dersom bøter pålegges ham, da skal han gi så meget i løsepenger for sitt liv som det blir ham pålagt. 
Er det en gutt eller pike den stanger, skal det gjøres med ham efter denne lov. 
Dersom oksen stanger en træl eller en trælkvinne, da skal eieren bøte tretti sekel sølv til deres herre; og oksen skal stenes. 
Når nogen lar en brønn stå åpen eller graver en brønn og ikke dekker den til, og det faller en okse eller et asen i den, 
da skal brønnens eier godtgjøre det; han skal gi dyrets eier penger i vederlag, men det døde dyr skal være hans. 
Når en manns okse stanger en annen manns okse ihjel, da skal de selge den levende okse og dele pengene for den, og det døde dyr skal de også dele. 
Men er det vitterlig at det er en okse som før har pleid å stange, og dens eier ikke passer på den, da skal han gi en annen okse isteden, men det døde dyr skal være hans. 

Now these are the laws which you are to put before them. 
If you get a Hebrew servant for money, he is to be your servant for six years, and in the seventh year you are to let him go free without payment. 
If he comes to you by himself, let him go away by himself: if he is married, let his wife go away with him. 
If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master, and the servant is to go away by himself. 
But if the servant says clearly, My master and my wife and children are dear to me; I have no desire to be free: 
Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever. 
And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do. 
If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her. 
And if he gives her to his son, he is to do everything for her as if she was his daughter. 
And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less. 
And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment. 
He who gives a man a death-blow is himself to be put to death. 
But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight. 
But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death. 
Any man who gives a blow to his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death. 
Any man who gets another into his power in order to get a price for him is to be put to death, if you take him in the act. 
Any man cursing his father or his mother is to be put to death. 
If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed; 
If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well. 
If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment. 
But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property. 
If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges. 
But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment 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 gives his man-servant or his woman-servant a blow in the eye, causing its destruction, he is to let him go free on account of the damage to his eye. 
Or if the loss of a tooth is caused by his blow, he will let him go free on account of his tooth. 
If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible. 
But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death. 
If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed. 
If the death of a son or of a daughter has been caused, the punishment is to be in agreement with this rule. 
If the death of a man-servant or of a woman-servant is caused by the ox, the owner is to give their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox is to be stoned. 
If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death; 
The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his. 
And if one man's ox does damage to another man's ox, causing its death, then the living ox is to be exchanged for money, and division made of the price of it, and of the price of the dead one. 
But if it is common knowledge that the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and its owner has not kept it under control, he will have to give ox for ox; and the dead beast will be his.
