New Testament

Exodus 21:5-14 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

5. But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’

6. then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

7. “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8. If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9. If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.

10. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

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

12. “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

13. but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14. If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbour to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
