00:00.680 --> 00:05.400
Chapter 21 Now these are the judgments
which thou shalt set before them.

00:05.940 --> 00:10.800
If thou buy an Hebrew servant,
six years he shall serve, and in the

00:10.800 --> 00:12.800
seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

00:13.560 --> 00:17.260
If he came in by himself, he shall go out
by himself.

00:17.660 --> 00:20.480
If he were married, then his wife shall go
out with him.

00:20.980 --> 00:25.400
If his master have given him a wife,
and she have borne him sons or daughters,

00:25.400 --> 00:30.460
the wife and her children shall be her
masters, and he shall go out by himself.

00:31.420 --> 00:36.180
And if the servant shall plainly say,
I love my master, my wife, and my

00:36.180 --> 00:41.340
children, I will not go out free,
then his master shall bring him unto the

00:41.340 --> 00:41.620
judges.

00:42.280 --> 00:46.980
He shall also bring him to the door,
or unto the doorpost, and his master shall

00:46.980 --> 00:50.680
bore his ear through with an awl,
and he shall serve him for ever.

00:51.620 --> 00:56.740
And if a man sell his daughter to be a
maidservant, she shall not go out as the

00:56.740 --> 00:57.580
maidservants do.

00:58.560 --> 01:03.480
If she please not her master, who hath
betrothed her to himself, then shall he

01:03.480 --> 01:04.660
let her be redeemed.

01:05.120 --> 01:09.780
To sell her unto a strange nation,
he shall have no power, seeing he hath

01:09.780 --> 01:11.140
dealt deceitfully with her.

01:12.000 --> 01:16.660
And if he have betrothed her unto his son,
he shall deal with her after the manner of

01:16.660 --> 01:16.920
daughters.

01:17.840 --> 01:22.900
If he take him another wife, her food,
her raiment, and her duty of marriage

01:22.900 --> 01:24.100
shall he not diminish.

01:25.240 --> 01:30.360
And if he do not these three unto her,
then shall she go out free without money.

01:31.500 --> 01:35.900
He that smiteth a man, so that he die,
shall be surely put to death.

01:36.480 --> 01:41.520
And if a man lie not in wait, but God
deliver him into his hand, then I will

01:41.520 --> 01:43.480
appoint thee a place whither he shall
flee.

01:44.680 --> 01:48.480
But if a man come presumptuously upon his
neighbor to slay him with guile,

01:48.480 --> 01:52.180
thou shalt take him from mine altar,
that he may die.

01:53.060 --> 01:57.420
And he that smiteth his father or his
mother shall be surely put to death.

01:58.120 --> 02:02.580
And he that stealeth a man and selleth
him, or if he be found in his hand,

02:03.120 --> 02:04.720
he shall surely be put to death.

02:05.620 --> 02:10.320
And he that curseth his father or his
mother shall surely be put to death.

02:10.960 --> 02:15.660
And if men strive together, and one smite
another with a stone or with his fist,

02:15.660 --> 02:21.580
and he die not, but keepeth his bed,
if he rise again and walk abroad upon his

02:21.580 --> 02:24.360
staff, then shall he that smote him be
quit.

02:25.040 --> 02:29.260
Only he shall pay for the loss of his
time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly

02:29.260 --> 02:29.720
healed.

02:30.660 --> 02:35.340
And if a man smite his servant or his maid
with a rod, and he die under his hand,

02:35.920 --> 02:37.500
he shall be surely punished.

02:38.400 --> 02:42.680
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or
two, he shall not be punished,

02:43.160 --> 02:44.380
for he is his money.

02:44.980 --> 02:49.760
If men strive and hurt a woman with child,
so that her fruit depart from her,

02:50.360 --> 02:55.400
and yet no mischief follow, he shall be
surely punished, according as the woman's

02:55.400 --> 02:59.320
husband will lay upon him, and he shall
pay as the judges determine.

03:00.360 --> 03:05.140
And if any mischief follow, then thou
shalt give life for life, eye for eye,

03:05.640 --> 03:10.580
tooth for tooth, hand for hand,
foot for foot, burning for burning,

03:11.180 --> 03:13.520
wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

03:14.400 --> 03:18.960
And if a man smite the eye of his servant
or the eye of his maid, that it perish,

03:19.500 --> 03:21.760
he shall let him go free for his eye's
sake.

03:22.400 --> 03:27.720
And if he smite out his manservant's tooth
or his maidservant's tooth, he shall let

03:27.720 --> 03:29.480
him go free for his tooth's sake.

03:30.180 --> 03:34.840
If an ox gore a man or a woman,
that they die, then the ox shall be surely

03:34.840 --> 03:40.020
stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten,
but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

03:40.660 --> 03:45.240
But if the ox were wont to push with his
horn in time past, and it hath been

03:45.240 --> 03:50.700
testified to his owner, and he hath not
kept him in, but that he hath killed a man

03:50.700 --> 03:55.280
or a woman, the ox shall be stoned,
and his owner also shall be put to death.

03:56.320 --> 04:00.620
If there be laid on him a sum of money,
then he shall give for the ransom of his

04:00.620 --> 04:02.740
life whatsoever is laid upon him.

04:03.680 --> 04:08.660
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored
a daughter, according to this judgment

04:08.660 --> 04:09.980
shall it be done unto him.

04:10.940 --> 04:15.300
If the ox shall push a manservant or a
maidservant, he shall give unto their

04:15.300 --> 04:18.700
master thirty shekels of silver,
and the ox shall be stoned.

04:19.340 --> 04:24.300
And if a man shall open a pit,
or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover

04:24.300 --> 04:29.240
it, and an ox or an ass fall therein,
the owner of the pit shall make it good,

04:29.660 --> 04:33.220
and give money unto the owner of them,
and the dead beast shall be his.

04:33.220 --> 04:38.980
And if one mans ox hurt another's,
that he die, then they shall sell the live

04:38.980 --> 04:42.940
ox, and divide the money of it,
and the dead ox also they shall divide.

04:43.760 --> 04:48.400
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to
push in time past, and his owner hath not

04:48.400 --> 04:53.240
kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for
ox, and the dead shall be his own.
