(God to Moses)
1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve:and in the
seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3 If he came in by himself, he
shall go out by himself:if he were married, then his wife shall go out
with him. 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 aul; 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 neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine
altar, that he may die.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18
And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with
his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:19 If he rise again, and
walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit:only he
shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be
thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his
servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be
surely punished. 21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he
shall not be punished:for he is his money.
22
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart
from her, and yet no mischief follow:he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as
the judges determine. 23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt
give life for life, 24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot
for foot, 25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(Remember
these are Old Testament laws ... Jesus brought another spirit when HE
came in the flesh ... Jesus spirit was salvation for man ... the second
coming of Jesus will be to judge man and it will be over then for all
eternity.)
26
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that
it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die:then the ox shall be
surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox
shall be quit. 29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time
past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him
in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned,
and his owner also shall be put to death. 30 If there be laid on him a
sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever
is laid upon him. 31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a
daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. 32 If
the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto
their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not
cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; 34 The owner of the pit
shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead
beast shall be his.
35 And if one man's ox hurt
another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide
the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. 36 Or if it be
known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not
kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his
own.

Luke
9 ... 51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he (Jesus)
should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52
And sent messengers before his face:and they went, and entered into a
village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not
receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt
thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them,
even as Elias did?
55 But he (Jesus)
turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye
are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but
to save them.
And they went to another village.
