New Testament

Exodus 21:8-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. If she doesn’t please the master who has chosen her as a wife, he must let her be bought back by one of her close relatives. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has treated her unfairly.

9. But if he has chosen her for his son, he must treat her like a daughter.

10. If that son marries another woman, he must not deprive the first wife of food, clothes, or sex.

11. If he doesn’t give her these three things, she can go free, without paying any money for her freedom.

12. “Whoever strikes someone and kills him must be put to death.

13. If it wasn’t done intentionally, but God let it happen, the killer should flee to a place I will set aside for you.

14. But whenever someone becomes so angry that he plans to kill his neighbor, you must take him away from my altar and put him to death.

15. “Whoever hits his father or mother must be put to death.
