Exodus 21 — Context

7

And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do.

8

If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her.

9

And if he gives her to his son, he is to do everything for her as if she was his daughter.

10

And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less.

11

And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment.

12

He who gives a man a death-blow is himself to be put to death.

13

But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight.
