1"These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:
“Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them,”
“Now, these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.”
“Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.”
“Now these are the judgments which I shall set before them.”
2If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.
“If thou by an Hebrew servant six years he shall serve, and in the seven he shall go out free for nothing.”
“If you buy a Hebrew servant six years he shall serve and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.”
“If thou buy in Hebrew seven six years he shall serve. And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.”
“If I buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve. And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.”
“If thou by a Hebrew servant six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.”
3If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.
“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 he came in by himself he shall go out by himself. If he were married then his wife shall go out with him.”
“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 he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.”
“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 he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he was married, his wife shall go out with him.”
4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
“if his master has given him a wife and she has born him sons or daughters the wife and her children shall be her masters and he shall go out by himself.”
“If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himself.”

“If his master have given him a wife and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters and he shall go out by himself.”
“"'If his master has given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himself.”
5But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,'
“But if the servant shall plainly say I love my master my wife and my children I will not go out free”
“And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free,”
“And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go out free.”
“And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife and my children, I'll not go out free.”
6then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.
“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 awl. And he will serve him”
“then his master shall bring him unto the judges. He shall also bring him to the door or unto the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.”
7And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.

8If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.
“if she pleased not her master who hath betrothed her to himself then shall he let her be redeemed. But to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.”
9And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.
“And if he hath betrothed her unto his son he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.”
10If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
“if he take him another wife her food her arraignment and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.”
11If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.

12Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
“"...he that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.".”
13If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
“And if a man lie not in wait but God delivers him into his hand then I will appoint thee a place whether ye shall flee.”
“"...and if a man lie not, and wait, but God deliver him into his hand, then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee.".”
14But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
“"...but if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor to slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.".”
“if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor to kill him by treachery, you shall take him from my altar that he may die.”

“"...and he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.".”

18If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
“If a man strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed,"”
19then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
