1 These are the note iudgements which thou shalt propose
to them.
2 If thou bye an Hebrew seruant, six yeares
shal he serue thee: in the seuenth he shal goe out free note gratis.
3 With what rayment he entred in, with the like let him go
out: if hauing a wife, his wife also shal goe out with him.
4 But if his lord geue him a wife, and she beare sonnes &
daughters: the woman and her children shal be her lordes:
but himselfe shal goe out with his rayment.
5 And if the
seruant say: I loue my lord and wife & children, I wil not
goe out free:
6 his lord shal present him to note the goddes,
and he shal be sette to the dore and the postes, and he shal
bore his eare through with an awle: and he shal be his bondman
for euer.
7 If any man sel his daughter to be a seruant,
she shal not goe out, as bondweman are wont to goe out.
8 If she mislike the eyes of her maister to whom she was
deliuered, he shal dismisse her: but he shal not haue authoritie
to sel her vnto a strange people, if he despise her.
9 But
if he despouse her to his sonne, he shal doe to her after the
maner of daughters.
10 And if he take an other wife for
him, he shal prouide her a mariage, and rayment, and the
price of her chastitie he shal not denie.
11 If he doe not
these three thinges, she shal goe out gratis without monie.
12 He that striketh a man wilfully to kil him, dying let him
die.
13 But he that did not lye in waite for him, but God
deliuered him into his handes: I wil appoint thee a place
whereunto he ought to flee.
14 If a man of sette purpose
kil his neighbour, and by lying in waite for him: thou shalt
plucke him out from mine Altare, that he may die.
15 He that
striketh his farher or mother, dying let him die.
16 He that
shal steale a man, and sel him, being conuicted of the trespasse,
dying let him die.
17 He that curseth his father, or
mother, dying let him die.
18 If men fal at wordes, and the
one strike his neighbour with a stone or with his fist, and
he die not, but lye in his bedde:
19 if he rise, and walke abrode
vpon his state, he that did strike shal be quitte, yet so that he
make restitution for his worke, and for his expenses vpon
the phisicians.
20 He that striketh his man or mayde seruant
with a rodde, and they die in his handes, he shal be guiltie of
the crime.
21 But if the partie remayne aliue a day or two,
he shal not be subiect to punishment, because it is his money.
22 If certaine fal at wordes, and one strike a woman with

child, and she in deede aborte, but her selfe liue: he shal be
subiect to so much damage as the womans husband shal require,
and as arbiters shal award.
23 But if her death doe ensue
thereupon, he shal render life for life,
24 eye for eye,
tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foote for foote,
25 adustion
for adustion, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 If any man
strike the eye of his manseruant of maidseruant, and leaue
them but one eye, he shal make them free for the eye which
he put out.
27 Also if he strike out a tooth of his manseruant
or maydseruant he shal in like maner make them free.
28 If
an oxe with his horne strike a man or a woman, and they die,
he shal be stoned: and his flesh shal not be eaten, the owner
also of the oxe shal be quitte.
29 But if the oxe were wont
to strike from yesterday and the day before, and they warned
his maister, neither did he shutte him vp, and he kil a man or
a woman: both the oxe shal be stoned, and they shal put to
death his owner also.
30 And if they sette a price vpon him,
he shal geue for his life whatsoeuer he is asked.
31 Also if with
his horne he strike a sonne, or a daughter, he shal be subiect
to the like sentence.
32 If he inuade a bondman or bondwoman,
he shal geue thirtie sicles of siluer to their maister,
but the oxe shal be stoned.
33 If a man open a cesterne, and
digge one, and doe not couer it, an oxe or an asse fal into it,
34 the owner of the cesterne shal pay the price of the beastes:
and that which died, shal be his owne.
35 If one mans oxe
gore an other mans oxe, and he die; they shal sel the oxe that
liueth, and shal diuide the price, and the carcasse of that
which died they shal parte betwen them.
36 But if he knew
that his oxe was wont to strike from yesterday and the day
before, and his maister did not keepe him in: he shal render
oxe for oxe, and shal take the carcasse whole.
