Exodus 21:9-21 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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.

15. “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

16. “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17. “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18. “If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;

19. if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

20. “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.

21. Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
