Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Exodus 21
⁴ If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
⁵ And 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 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 shall serve him for ever.
⁷ And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
⁸ If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
⁹ And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
¹⁰ If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
¹¹ And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
¹² He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
¹³ And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
¹⁴ 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.
