Rotherham(i)
1 Now, these, are the regulations which thou shalt put before them.
2 When thou shalt acquire a servant who is a Hebrew, six years, shall he serve,––but, in the seventh, shall he go out freely––for nought.
3 If, by himself, he came in, by himself, shall he go out,––if he was, married, then shall his wife go out with him.
4 If, his lord, gave him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her lords, and, he, shall go out by himself.
5 But, if the servant shall, plainly say, I love my lord, and my wife, and my sons,––I will not go out free,
6 then shall his lord bring him near unto God, and shall bring him near unto the door, or unto the door–post,––and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, so shall he serve him all his life.
7 And, when a man shall sell his daughter to be a handmaid, she shall not go out according to the out–going of the men–servants.
8 If she is uncomely in the eyes of her lord, who hath not assigned her in marriage, then shall he suffer her to be redeemed: to a strange people, shall he not have power to sell her, in that he hath dealt treacherously with her.
9 And, if, to his son, he assign her, according to the custom for daughters, shall he do for her.
10 If he take to himself another, her food, her clothing, and her marriage–right, shall he not withdraw.
11 But, if, these three, he will not do for her, then shall she go out for nought, without silver.
12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall, surely be put to death. 13 But, he who hath not lain in wait, but, God, hath occasioned him to come to his hand, then will I appoint for thee a place, whither he may flee. 14 But, when a man shall act presumptuously against his neighbour, to slay him with guile, from mine altar, shalt thou take him to die. 15 And, he that smiteth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death. 16 And, he that stealeth a man of the sons of Israel and selleth him, or he be found in his hand, shall, surely be put to death. 17 And, he who revileth his father or his mother, shall, surely be put to death. 18 And, when men strive together, and one shall smite the other, with a stone or with his fist,––and he die not, but shall fall to his bed; –– 19 if he rise, and shall walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be acquitted,––only, for his loss of time, he shall pay, and, shall surely heal, him. 20 And, when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die, under his hand, he shall, surely be avenged; 21 nevertheless, if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
22 And, when men strive together, and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges. 23 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life;
