Exodus 21:6-13

English Standard Version

⁶ then his master shall bring him to ^(A)God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.

⁷ “When a man ^(B)sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. ⁸ If she does not please her master, who has designated her^[a] for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. ⁹ If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. ¹⁰ If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or ^(C)her marital rights. ¹¹ And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.

^12 (D)“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death. ^13 (E)But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then ^(F)I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.
