Exodus Chapter 21
1
Now these are the judgments
2
If you buy an Hebrew servant/slave,
3
If he came in by himself, If he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4
If his master has given him a wife,
5
And if the servant shall plainly say,
6
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; {Note: It was the custom of the day that if a person from his free will wanted to be a slave and the master agreed, that he would literally put an awl through his ear and 'nail' him to the front door. That was the symbol that this 'deal' was agreed to by both parties. The scar in the ear was a life-long testimony to the transaction.}
7
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant,
8
If she please not her master,
9
And if he has betrothed her unto his son,
10
If he takes him another wife;
11
And if he does not these three unto her,
12
He who smites a man, so that he die,
13
And if a man lie not in wait,
{Verses
14-17: Capital Punishment for 1st Degree Murder}
15
And he who smites/strikes his father, or his mother,
{Theft
and Slave Trade}
17
And he who curses his father, or his mother,
18
And if men strive together,
Only
he shall pay for the loss of his time,
{Murder
of a Slave is Not a Capital Offense} {Note: If a master kills his slave, then the master will be punished monetarily, but God does not consider this 1st degree murder.}
21
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two,
{Principal
- No Life in the Womb - Murder of an Embryo not a Capital Offence}
{Capital
Punishment though if the Mother Dies}
24
Eye for eye,
26
And if a man smite the eye of his servant,
27
And if he smite out his manservant's tooth,
28
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die;
29
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past,
30
If there be laid on him a sum of money,
31
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
32
If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant;
33
And if a man shall open a pit,
35
And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die;
36
Or if it be known that the ox has used to push in time past, ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
