• 21:7And if a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do. Compare
• 21:8If she displeases her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he has no right to sell her to a foreign people, because he has dealt with her unfaithfully. Compare

• 21:18And if men contend and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist so that he does not die but remains in bed; Compare
• 21:19If he can rise up and walk around outside on his staff, then he who struck him shall be guiltless; he shall only pay for the loss of his time, until he has made sure he is completely healed. Compare
• 21:20And if a man strikes his male servant or his female servant with a rod, and the servant dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished. Compare
• 21:21But if he survives a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his prop-erty. Compare
• 21:22And if men struggle together, and they hit a pregnant woman, so that she has a miscarriage, but there is no further mishap, he shall surely be fined what the woman's husband shall impose upon him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. Compare

• 21:28And if an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless. Compare
• 21:29But if the ox was accustomed to goring previously, and its owner had been warned, but he would not keep it in, and it killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death. Compare
• 21:30If a ransom is imposed on the owner, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed upon him. Compare
• 21:31If either it gores a son or it gores a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him. Compare
• 21:32If the ox gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned. Compare
• 21:33And if a man opens a pit or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, Compare
• 21:34The owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall give silver to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his. Compare
• 21:35And if one man's ox injures another's so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal. Compare
