1“Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. (Ex 24:3; De 4:14; De 6:1)2When you buy a Hebrew slave,[1] he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. (Le 25:39; De 15:12; Jer 34:14)3If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out alone.5But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ (De 15:16)6then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. (Ps 82:6; Joh 10:34)7“When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. (Ne 5:5)8If she does not please her master, who has designated her[2] for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.9If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.10If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. (1Co 7:5)11And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.12“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death. (Ge 9:6; Le 24:17; Nu 35:30; Mt 26:52)13But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee. (Nu 35:11; Nu 35:22; De 4:41; De 19:2; De 19:4; Jos 20:2)14But if a man willfully attacks another to kill him by cunning, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die. (1Ki 2:28)15“Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.16“Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death. (Ex 22:4; De 24:7; 1Ti 1:10)17“Whoever curses[3] his father or his mother shall be put to death. (Le 20:9; De 27:16; Pr 20:20; Pr 30:11; Mt 15:4; Mr 7:10)18“When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does not die but takes to his bed,19then if the man rises again and walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed.20“When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged.21But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money. (Le 25:45)22“When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman’s husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. (De 22:18; Job 31:11)23But if there is harm,[4] then you shall pay life for life, (De 19:21)24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, (Le 24:20; De 19:21; Mt 5:38)25burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.26“When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye.27If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth.28“When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall not be liable. (Ge 9:5)29But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.30If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed on him. (Ex 21:22; Ex 30:12; Nu 35:31)31If it gores a man’s son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule.32If the ox gores a slave, male or female, the owner shall give to their master thirty shekels[5] of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. (Ex 21:28; Zec 11:12; Mt 26:15)
Laws About Restitution
33“When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,34the owner of the pit shall make restoration. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead beast shall be his.35“When one man’s ox butts another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and share its price, and the dead beast also they shall share.36Or if it is known that the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall repay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his.

1Tito jsou pak soudové, kteréž jim předložíš:2Jestliže koupíš k službě Žida, šest let sloužiti bude, a sedmého odejde svobodný darmo.3Přišel-li by sám toliko, sám také odejde; pakli měl ženu, vyjde s ním i žena jeho.4Jestliže pán jeho dá mu ženu, a ona zrodí jemu syny neb dcery: žena ta i děti její budou pána jeho, on pak sám toliko odejde.5Pakli by řekl služebník: Miluji pána svého, manželku svou a syny své, nevyjdu svobodný:6Tedy postaví ho pán jeho před soudci, a přivede ho ke dveřím neb k veřeji,a probodne pán jeho ucho jemu špicí; i zůstaneť služebníkem jeho na věky.7Když by pak prodal někdo dceru svou, aby byla děvkou, nevyjdeť tak, jako vycházejí služebníci.8Nelíbila-li by se pánu svému, kterýž jí sobě ještě nezasnoubil, dopustí ji vyplatiti. Lidu cizímu nebude míti práva prodati ji, poněvadž zhřešil proti ní.9Pakli by synu svému ji zasnoubil, učiníť jí tak, jakž obyčej jest činiti dcerám.10A dal-li by mu jinou, z stravy její, oděvu jejího, a přívětivosti manželské nic této neujme.11Neudělal-li by nic z toho trojího, vyjde darmo bez stříbra.12Kdo by ubil člověka, až by od toho umřel, smrtí umře.13Když by pak neukládal o bezživotí jeho, než Bůh dal by jej v ruce jeho: tedy uložím tobě místo, do něhož by takový mohl uteci.14Pakli by kdo tak pyšně sobě počínal proti bližnímu svému, že by ho lstivě zabil, i od oltáře mého odtrhneš jej, aby umřel.15Kdo by otce svého neb matku svou bil, smrtí ať umře.16Kdo by pak, ukradna někoho, prodal jej, a nalezen by byl v ruce jeho, smrtí ať umře.17I ten, kdož by zlořečil otci svému neb mateři své, smrtí ať umře.18Když by se svadili muži, a urazil by který bližního svého kamenem neb pěstí, a ten by neumřel, než složil se na lůži;19A potom by povstal a chodil vně o holi své: již nebude vinen ten, kdož urazil; toliko co zatím obmeškal, to jemu nahradí, a na vyhojení jeho naloží.20Když by pak ubil kdo služebníka svého neb děvku svou kyjem, tak že by umřel mu v ruce jeho: pomstou pomštěno bude nad takovým.21A však jestliže by den neb dva přečkal, neponese pomsty, nebo jej zaplatil.22Když by se svadili muži, a urazili ženu těhotnou, tak že by vyšel z ní plod její, však by se zhouba nestala: pokutován bude, jakž by uložil naň muž té ženy, a dá vedlé uznání soudců.23Pakliť by smrt přišla, tedy dáš život za život,24Oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nohu za nohu,25Spáleninu za spáleninu, ránu za ránu, modřinu za modřinu.26Jestliže by kdo urazil služebníka svého v oko, aneb děvku svou v oko, tak že by jej o ně připravil: svobodného jej propustí za oko jeho.27Pakli by zub služebníku svému neb zub děvce své vyrazil, svobodného jej propustí za zub jeho.28Jestliže by vůl utrkl muže neb ženu, tak že by umřel člověk: ukamenován bude ten vůl, aniž jedeno bude maso jeho, však pán vola toho bez viny bude.29Než byl-liť by vůl trkavý prvé, a bylo by to osvědčeno pánu jeho, on pak nezavřel by ho, a v tom zabil by muže neb ženu: vůl ten ukamenován bude, a pán jeho také umře.30Pakliť mu bude uloženo, aby se vyplatil: tedy dá výplatu za život svůj, jakážkoli na něj uložena bude.31Buď že by syna utrkl, buď dceru, podlé soudu toho stane se jemu.32Jestliže by služebníka vůl ztrkal neb děvku, třidceti lotů stříbra dá pánu jeho, a vůl ten bude ukamenován.33Kdyby kdo odhradil studnici, a neb vykopal někdo studnici, a zase jí nepřikryl, a vpadl by tam vůl neb osel:34Pán té studnice nahradí to, a peníze položí pánu jeho, a což se zabilo, to sobě míti bude.35A ustrčil-li by vůl něčí vola sousedova, že byl umřel: tedy prodadí vola toho živého, a podělí se penězi jeho; i s zabitým volem také se rozdělí.36Pakli vědíno bylo, že vůl byl trkavý prvé, a nezavřel ho pán jeho: bez výmluvy ať dá vola za vola, a zabitý ať mu zůstane.
