Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 21
⁶ then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him permanently.
⁷ "If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do.
⁸ If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He does not have authority to sell her to a foreign people because of his unfairness to her.
⁹ If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters.
¹⁰ If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights.
¹¹ If he will not do these three things for her, then she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.
¹² "He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.
¹³ But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee.
¹⁴ If, however, a man acts presumptuously toward his neighbor, so as to kill him craftily, you are to take him even from My altar, that he may die.
¹⁵ "He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
¹⁶ "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.
