211 'And these 'are' the judgments which thou dost set before them: 2 'When thou buyest a Hebrew servant—six years he doth serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought; 3 if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he 'is' owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone out with him; 4 if his lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him sons or daughters—the wife and her children are her lord's, and he goeth out by himself. 5 'And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons—I do not go out free; 6 then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him—to the age. 7 'And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants; 8 if evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously with her. 9 'And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her. 10 'If another 'woman' he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw; 11 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.
12 'He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death; 13 as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee. 14 'And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die. 15 'And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly put to death. 16 'And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath been found in his hand, is certainly put to death. 17 'And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death. 18 'And when men contend, and a man hath smitten his neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but hath fallen on the bed; 19 if he rise, and hath gone up and down without on his staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation he giveth, and he is thoroughly healed. 20 'And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand—he is certainly avenged; 21 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he 'is' his money.
22 'And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman, and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him, and he hath given through the judges; 23 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given 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.
26 'And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye; 27 and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for his tooth. 28 'And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox 'is' acquitted; 29 and if the ox is 'one' accustomed to gore heretofore, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it, and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner also is put to death. 30 'If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him; 31 whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him. 32 'If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned. 33 'And when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen thither,— 34 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back to its owner, and the dead is his. 35 'And when a man's ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour, and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved its money, and also the dead one they do halve; 36 or, it hath been known that the ox is 'one' accustomed to gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his.
221 'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep. 2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him; 3 if the sun hath risen upon him, blood 'is' for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft; 4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep—double he repayeth. 5 'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, 'of' the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay. 6 'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
7 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double. 8 'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour; 9 for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour. 10 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing— 11 an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay; 12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner; 13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in—a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay. 14 'And when a man doth ask 'anything' from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died—its owner not being with it—he doth certainly repay; 15 if its owner 'is' with it, he doth not repay,—if it 'is' a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
16 'And when a man doth entice a virgin who 'is' not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife; 17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins. 18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive. 19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death. 20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted. 21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt. 22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict; 23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry; 24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury; 26 if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him: 27 for it alone is his covering, it 'is' his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I 'am' gracious. 28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse. 29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me; 30 so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me. 31 'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
191 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, he removed from Galilee, and did come to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan, 2 and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and saying to him, 'Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?' 4 And he answering said to them, 'Did ye not read, that He who made 'them', from the beginning a male and a female made them, 5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh? 6 so that they are no more two, but one flesh; what therefore God did join together, let no man put asunder.' 7 They say to him, 'Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put her away?' 8 He saith to them—'Moses for your stiffness of heart did suffer you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it hath not been so. 9 'And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.' 10 His disciples say to him, 'If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.' 11 And he said to them, 'All do not receive this word, but those to whom it hath been given; 12 for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive 'it'—let him receive.'
13 Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, 'Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;' 15 and having laid on them 'his' hands, he departed thence.
16 And lo, one having come near, said to him, 'Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?' 17 And he said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one 'is' good except One—God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.' 18 He saith to him, 'What kind?' And Jesus said, 'Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 honour thy father and mother, and, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' 20 The young man saith to him, 'All these did I keep from my youth; what yet do I lack?' 21 Jesus said to him, 'If thou dost will to be perfect, go away, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.' 22 And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions;
23 and Jesus said to his disciples, 'Verily I say to you, that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the heavens; 24 and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' 25 And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, 'Who, then, is able to be saved?' 26 And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' 27 Then Peter answering said to him, 'Lo, we did leave all, and follow thee, what then shall we have?' 28 And Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit—ye also—upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; 29 and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my name's sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during shall inherit; 30 and many first shall be last, and last first.
