1. God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, by which He bound him and all his posterity to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience. God promised life upon the fulfilling of the law, and threatened death upon the breach of the law. God also endowed him with power and ability to keep it.

5. The moral law forever binds all to the obedience of it, justified persons as much as others.a This is true not only in regard to the matter contained in the law, but also in regard to the authority of God the Creator, who gave it.b In the Gospel, Christ does not in any way dissolve, but rather much strengthens this obligation.c

6. True believers are not under the law, as a covenant of works, to be justified by it or condemned.a But, it is of great use to them, as well as to others:
It is likewise of use to the regenerate to restrain their corruptions, because:
When a man does good and refrains from evil because the law encourages the one and deters the other, it is no evidence of his being under the law and not under grace.j

Ch. 19:3
Hebrews 9 (ESV) Back
1Now even the first covenant had
regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness. 2For a tent was prepared, the first
section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the
Presence. It is called the Holy Place. 3Behind the second curtain was a second
section called the Most Holy Place, 4having the golden altar of incense and the
ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn
holding the manna, and Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the
covenant. 5Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing
the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6These
preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first
section, performing their ritual duties, 7but into the second only the high priest
goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for
himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the
way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is
still standing 9(which is symbolic for the present age). According
to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the
conscience of the worshiper, 10but deal only with food and drink and
various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of
reformation. 11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the
good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not
made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he entered once for all into the holy
places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own
blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and
the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the
purification of the flesh, 14how much more will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify
our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. 15Therefore he is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal
inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the
transgressions committed under the first covenant. 16For where a will is involved, the death of
the one who made it must be established. 17For a will takes effect only at death,
since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18Therefore
not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.
19For when every
commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took
the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
that God commanded for you.” 21And in the same way he sprinkled with the
blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22Indeed, under the law almost everything is
purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
of sins. 23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the
heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things
themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy
places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was
it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every
year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer
repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared
once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself. 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once,
and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to
save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Hebrews 9 (KJ3) Back
1¶ Truly, then, the first covenant
also had ordinances of service, and the earthly holy place.
2 For the tabernacle was prepared,
the first, in which was both the lampstand and the table, and the
setting out of the loaves, which is called holy.
3 But behind the second veil is
a tabernacle, being called Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar of
incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on all sides with gold, in
which was the golden pot having the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded,
and the tablets of the covenant;
5 and above it the cherubs
of glory overshadowing the mercy seat (about which is not enough time now
to speak according to a piece).
6 And these things having
been prepared thus, the priests go into the first tabernacle through all,
completely fulfilling the services.
7 But into the second the high
priest goes alone once in the year, not without blood, which he
offers on behalf of himself and the sins of ignorance of the people;
8 the Holy Spirit signifying by
this that the way of the Holies has not yet been made manifest, the
first tabernacle still having been standing;
9 which was a parable for
the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, but
as regards conscience, not being able to perfect the one serving,
10 but only on foods and drinks,
and various washings, and fleshly ordinances, until the time of
reformation being imposed.
11¶ But Christ having appeared as
a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more
perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,
12 nor through the blood of goats
and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all
into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and
goats, and ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies
to the purity of the flesh,
14 by how much more the blood of
Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish
to God), will purify your conscience from dead works, to serve the living
God!
15¶ And because of this He is
Mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having occurred for redemption of
transgressions under the first covenant, the ones being called might
receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
16 For where a testament is,
the death of the one testating must be offered.
17 For a testament is firm
over dead ones, since it never has force when the one testating
lives.
18 From which neither the first covenant
was dedicated without blood.
19 For when every command
had been spoken according to Law by Moses to all the people, having taken the
blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop itself,
and he sprinkled both the scroll and all the people,
20 saying, “This is the
blood of the covenant which God enjoined to you.Ӡ
21 And he likewise sprinkled both
the tabernacle and all the service vessels with the blood.
22 And almost all things are
purified by blood according to the Law; and apart from shedding of blood not any
remission occurs.
23¶ Therefore it was needful
for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these;
but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ did not enter into the
Holy of Holies made by hands, antitypes of the true things, but into Heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,
25 not that He should often offer
Himself, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies,
according to a year with blood of others;
26 since it was necessary for Him
to suffer often from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the
completion of the ages, He has been revealed for putting away of sin through
the sacrifice of Himself.
27 And as much as it is reserved to
men once to die, and after this, Judgment;
28 so Christ having been once
offered “to bear the sins of many,” Christ shall appear a second time
without sin to the ones eagerly awaiting Him unto salvation.
Hebrews 9 (NASB95) Back
1Now even the first covenant had
regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. 2For there was a tabernacle prepared, the
outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this
is called the holy place. 3Behind the second veil there was a
tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4having a golden altar of incense and the
ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar
holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod which budded, and the tables of the
covenant; 5and above it were the cherubim of glory
overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in
detail. 6Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually
entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7but into
the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood,
which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in
ignorance. 8The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way
into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is
still standing, 9which is a symbol for the present time.
Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the
worshiper perfect in conscience, 10since they relate only to food and drink
and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of
reformation. 11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the
good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12and not
through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered
the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if
the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who
have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
14how much more
will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself
without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God? 15For this reason He is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the
transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have
been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16For
where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made
it. 17For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force
while the one who made it lives. 18Therefore even the first covenant was not
inaugurated without blood. 19For when every commandment had been spoken
by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the
calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both
the book itself and all the people, 20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
which God commanded you.” 21And in the same way he sprinkled both the
tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22And
according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23Therefore it was necessary for the copies
of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things
themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ did not enter a holy place made
with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us; 25nor was it that He would offer Himself
often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is
not his own. 26Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often
since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages
He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27And
inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28so
Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a
second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await
Him.
Hebrews 9 (WEB) Back
1 Now indeed even the first* covenant had ordinances of divine
service, and an earthly sanctuary.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first
part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the
Holy Place.
3 After the second veil was the tabernacle
which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar of incense, and the
ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot
holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing
the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.
6 Now these things having been thus prepared,
the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the
services,
7 but into the second the high priest alone,
once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the
errors of the people.
8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the
way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was
still standing;
9 which is a symbol of the present age, where
gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience,
of making the worshiper perfect;
10 being only (with meats and drinks and
various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
11 But Christ having come as a high
priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 nor yet through the blood of goats and
calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place,
having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the
ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the
cleanness of the flesh:
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new
covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive
the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a last will and testament is,
there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
17 For a will is in force where there has been
death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
18 Therefore even the first covenant has not
been dedicated without blood.
19 For when every commandment had been spoken
by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the
calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book itself and all the people,
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
which God has commanded you.”✡
21 Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle
and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
22 According to the law, nearly everything is
cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 It was necessary therefore that the
copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places
made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself,
now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 nor yet that he should offer himself often,
as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his
own,
26 or else he must have suffered often since
the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been
revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die
once, and after this, judgment,
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are
eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Exodus 21 (ESV) Back
1“Now these are the rules that you shall
set before them. 2When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six
years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. 3If he
comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife
shall go out with him. 4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him
sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he
shall go out alone. 5But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master,
my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6then his master shall bring him to 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 sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8If she
does not please her master, who has designated her 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. 9If he designates her for his son, he shall
deal with her as with a daughter. 10If he takes another wife to himself, he
shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. 11And if
he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing,
without payment of money. 12“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies
shall be put to death. 13But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let
him fall into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may
flee. 14But if a man willfully attacks another to kill him by cunning, you shall
take him from my altar, that he may die. 15“Whoever strikes his father or his mother
shall be put to death. 16“Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone
found in possession of him, shall be put to death. 17“Whoever curses his father or his mother
shall be put to death. 18“When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a
stone or with his fist and the man does not die but takes to his bed, 19then if
the man rises again and walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall
be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him
thoroughly healed. 20“When a man strikes his slave, male or female,
with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. 21But if
the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his
money. 22“When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children
come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as
the woman’s husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges
determine. 23But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for
life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25burn
for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 26“When a man strikes the eye of his slave,
male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his
eye. 27If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the
slave go free because of his tooth. 28“When an ox gores a man or a woman to
death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner
of the ox shall not be liable. 29But if the ox has been accustomed to gore
in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills
a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to
death. 30If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his
life whatever is imposed on him. 31If it gores a man’s son or daughter, he
shall be dealt with according to this same rule. 32If the ox gores a slave, male or female,
the owner shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall
be stoned. 33“When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit
and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34the
owner of the pit shall make restoration. He shall give money to its owner, and
the dead beast shall be his. 35“When one man’s ox butts another’s, so
that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and share its price, and the
dead beast also they shall share. 36Or if it is known that the ox has been
accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall
repay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his.

shall go out with him.

daughter for a slave-girl, she shall not go out as the male slaves go out.
8 If she is bad in the eyes
of her master who has appointed her for himself, he shall allow her redemption.
He shall not have power to sell her to a foreign people, in his deceiving her.
9 And if he chooses her for his
son, he shall do to her as is the custom of daughters.
10 If he takes another for himself,
her flesh, her clothing, and her conjugal right shall not be diminished.
11 And if he does not do these
three for her, she shall go out for nothing, without silver.

he dies, dying he shall die.
13 But he who does not lie in wait,
and God lets fall into his hand, I will appoint a place for you where he may
flee.
14 And when a man seethes
insolently against his neighbor, to kill him by deceit, you shall take him from
My altar to die.
15 And he who strikes his father or
his mother dying shall die.
16 And he that steals a man and
sells him, or if he is found in his hand, dying he shall die.
17 And he who curses his father or
his mother, dying he shall die.
18 And when men strive, and one
strikes his neighbor with a stone, or with a fist, and he does not die, but
falls on his bed,
19 if he rises and walks about in
the street on his staff, the one who struck him shall be innocent; only
he shall pay his sitting; giving he shall give for his healing.
20 And if a man strikes his male
slave or his slave-girl with a rod, and he dies under his hand, avenging he
shall be avenged.
21 But if he continues a day or
two, he shall not be avenged, for he is his silver.
22¶ And when men fight, and they
strike a pregnant woman, and her child goes forth, and there is no injury,
being fined he shall be fined. As much as the husband of the woman shall
put on him, even he shall give through the judges.
23 But if injury occurs, you shall
give life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 branding for branding, wound for
wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And when a man strikes the eye
of his male slave, or the eye of his slave-girl and destroys it, he shall send
him away free for his eye.
27 And if he causes the tooth of
his male slave, or the tooth of his slave-girl, to fall out, he shall send him
away free for his tooth.
28 And when an ox gores a man so
that he dies, the ox stoning shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten,
and the owner of the ox is innocent.
29 And if he was an ox apt
to gore from yesterday and the day before, and its owner is given warning, and
he does not watch him, and he causes a man or a woman to die, the ox shall be
stoned, and its owner also shall die.
30 If a ransom is put on him, he
shall give the redemption of his life, according to all which is put on him.
31 Whether he gores a son or he
gores a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 If the ox gores a male slave or
a slavegirl, he shall give thirty silver shekels to his master, and the ox
shall be stoned.
33 And when a man opens a pit, or
when a man digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or an ass falls into
it,
34 the owner of the pit shall pay;
he shall give silver to its owner, and the dead shall be his.
35 And when a man’s ox strikes
against the ox of his neighbor, and it dies, they shall sell the living ox, and
they shall divide the silver; and they shall also divide the dead.

he was an ox apt to gore from yesterday and the third day, and his owner
does not watch him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his.

master who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He
does not have authority to sell her to a foreign people because of his
unfairness to her. 9“If he designates her for his son, he shall deal
with her according to the custom of daughters. 10“If he takes to himself another woman, he
may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. 11“If he
will not do these three things for her, then she shall go out for nothing,
without payment of money. 12“He who strikes a man so that he dies shall
surely be put to death. 13“But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God
let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may
flee. 14“If, however, a man acts presumptuously toward his neighbor, so as to kill
him craftily, you are to take him even from My altar, that he may die. 15“He who
strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. 16“He who
kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall
surely be put to death. 17“He who curses his father or his mother shall
surely be put to death. 18“If men have a quarrel and one strikes the other
with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but remains in bed, 19if he
gets up and walks around outside on his staff, then he who struck him shall go
unpunished; he shall only pay for his loss of time, and shall take care of him
until he is completely healed. 20“If a man strikes his male or female slave
with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall be punished. 21“If, however, he survives a day or two, no
vengeance shall be taken; for he is his property. 22“If men struggle with each other and
strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no
injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and
he shall pay as the judges decide. 23“But if there is any further injury, then
you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for
hand, foot for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. 26“If a
man strikes the eye of his male or female slave, and destroys it, he shall let
him go free on account of his eye. 27“And if he knocks out a tooth of his male
or female slave, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth. 28“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 go unpunished. 29“If,
however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been
warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall
be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. 30“If a ransom is demanded of him, then he
shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is demanded of him. 31“Whether
it gores a son or a daughter, it shall be done to him according to the same
rule. 32“If the ox gores a male or female slave, the owner shall give his or her
master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. 33“If a
man opens a pit, or digs a pit and does not cover it over, and an ox or a
donkey falls into it, 34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he
shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall become his. 35“If one
man’s ox hurts another’s so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and
divide its price equally; and also they shall divide the dead ox. 36“Or if
it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner
has not confined it, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall
become his.

1 “Now these
are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
2 “If you buy
a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out
free without paying anything.
3 If he comes in by himself, he
shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears
him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he
shall go out by himself.
5 But 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 to God, and
shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his
ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
7 “If a man
sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male
servants do.
8 If she doesn’t please her master, who has
married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no
right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal
with her as a daughter.
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he
shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her,
she may go free without paying any money.
12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies
shall surely be put to death,
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God
allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on
his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his
mother shall be surely put to death.
16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells
him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 “Anyone who curses his father or his
mother shall surely be put to death.
18 “If men quarrel and one strikes the
other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to
bed;
19 if he rises again and walks around with his
staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss
of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
20 “If a man strikes his servant or his
maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up
after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
22 “If men fight and hurt a pregnant
woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be
surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
23 But if any harm follows, then you must take
life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand,
foot for foot,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and
bruise for bruise.
26 “If a man strikes his servant’s eye,
or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s
sake.
27 If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or
his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s
sake.
28 “If a bull gores a man or a woman to
death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but
the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the
past, and this has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but
it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall
also be put to death.
30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall
give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a
daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female
servant, thirty shekels* of
silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 “If a man opens a pit, or if a man
digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He
shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
35 “If one man’s bull injures another’s,
so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and
they shall also divide the dead animal.
36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the
habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely
pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.

1“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and
kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a
sheep. 2If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall
be no bloodguilt for him, 3but if the sun has risen on him, there
shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he
shall be sold for his theft. 4If the stolen beast is found alive in his
possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double. 5“If a
man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over, or lets his beast loose and
it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best in his
own field and in his own vineyard. 6“If fire breaks out and catches in thorns
so that the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, he
who started the fire shall make full restitution. 7“If a man gives to his neighbor money or
goods to keep safe, and it is stolen from the man’s house, then, if the thief
is found, he shall pay double. 8If the thief is not found, the owner of
the house shall come near to God to show whether or not he has put his hand to
his neighbor’s property. 9For every breach of trust, whether it is for an
ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for a cloak, or for any kind of lost thing, of
which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before God.
The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor. 10“If a
man gives to his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep
safe, and it dies or is injured or is driven away, without anyone seeing it, 11an oath
by the Lord shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his
hand to his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the oath, and he shall
not make restitution. 12But if it is stolen from him, he shall make
restitution to its owner. 13If it is torn by beasts, let him bring it
as evidence. He shall not make restitution for what has been torn. 14“If a
man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is injured or dies, the owner not
being with it, he shall make full restitution. 15If the owner was with it, he shall not
make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee. 16“If a
man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the
bride-price for her and make her his wife. 17If her father utterly refuses to give her
to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins. 18“You
shall not permit a sorceress to live. 19“Whoever lies with an animal shall be put
to death. 20“Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the
Lord alone, shall be devoted to destruction. 21“You shall not wrong a sojourner or
oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22You shall not
mistreat any widow or fatherless child. 23If you do mistreat them, and they cry out
to me, I will surely hear their cry, 24and my wrath will burn, and I will kill
you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children
fatherless. 25“If you lend money to any of my people with you
who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not
exact interest from him. 26If ever you take your neighbor’s cloak in
pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, 27for
that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall
he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate. 28“You
shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people. 29“You shall not delay to offer from the
fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of
your sons you shall give to me.

sheep, and kills it, or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox, and four
sheep for the sheep.
2 If the thief is found breaking
in, and is stricken and dies, no blood shall be shed for him.
3 If the sun has risen on him,
blood is due for him; repaying he shall repay. If he has nothing, then
he should be sold for his theft.
4 If finding the stolen thing is
found in his hand alive, from ox to ass to flock animal, he shall pay double.
5 When a man burns a field or a
vineyard, and he lets loose his beast and it feeds another’s field, he shall
repay the best of his field and the best of his vineyard.
6 When a fire breaks out and finds
thorns, and a stack of grain, or standing grain, or the field is burned
up, repaying the one kindling the fire shall repay.
7¶ When a man gives silver or
vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the
thief is found, he shall repay double.
8 If the thief is not found, the
master of the house shall be brought to God, to see whether or not he
put out his hand to his neighbor’s goods.
9 In every matter of
transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, for anything lost of
which it is said that it is his, the case of both of them shall come to
God. Whom God declares guilty, he shall repay double to his neighbor.

to his neighbor, or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, or is injured,
or is captured, no one seeing it,

him, he shall repay to its owner.
13 If it is completely torn in
pieces, he shall bring it as a witness; he shall not repay that which was torn.
14 And when a man borrows from his
neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, its owner not being with it, paying he shall
repay.
15 If its owner is with it, he
shall not repay. If it is hired, it comes for its hire.
16¶ And when a man lures a virgin
who is not betrothed, and lies with her, paying he shall pay her bride-price
for a wife to himself.

to give her to him, he shall weigh money according to the bride-price of
virgins.

to live.

a sojourner. You shall not oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of
Egypt.

will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall become widows, and your sons
orphans.
25 If you lend money to my people,
the poor one with you, you shall not be a creditor to him; you shall not
put interest on him
26 If you indeed take the clothing
of your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him by the going of the
sun,
27 for that is his only covering,
that is his garment for his skin. In what shall he lie down? And it shall
be, when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
28 You shall not revile God, and
you shall not curse a ruler among your people.
29 You shall not delay giving the
fullness of your crops and juices of your vintage. You shall give
to Me the first-born of your sons.

slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox and four sheep for
the sheep. 2“If the thief is caught while breaking in and is
struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account. 3“But if
the sun has risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account. He
shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for
his theft. 4“If what he stole is actually found alive in his
possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double. 5“If a
man lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare and lets his animal loose so that
it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of
his own field and the best of his own vineyard. 6“If a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn
bushes, so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field itself is
consumed, he who started the fire shall surely make restitution. 7“If a
man gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the
man’s house, if the thief is caught, he shall pay double. 8“If the thief is not caught, then the owner
of the house shall appear before the judges, to determine whether he laid his
hands on his neighbor’s property. 9“For every breach of trust, whether it is
for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which
one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before the judges;

and it dies or is hurt or is driven away while no one is looking, 11an oath
before the Lord shall be made by the two of them that he has not laid hands on

bring it as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what has been torn to
pieces. 14“If a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and
it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full
restitution. 15“If its owner is with it, he shall not make
restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire. 16“If a man seduces a virgin who is not
engaged, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry for her to be his wife. 17“If her
father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the
dowry for virgins. 18“You shall not allow a sorceress to live. 19“Whoever
lies with an animal shall surely be put to death. 20“He who sacrifices to any god, other than
to the Lord alone, shall be utterly destroyed. 21“You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress
him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22“You shall not afflict any widow or
orphan. 23“If you afflict him at all, and if he does cry out
to Me, I will surely hear his cry; 24and My anger will be kindled, and I will
kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children
fatherless. 25“If you lend money to My people, to the poor among

cloak for his body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that
when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious. 28“You
shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people. 29“You shall not delay the offering from
your harvest and your vintage. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.

those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress
upon the earth and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword
and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot
by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 21:20-24 (KJ3) Back
20¶ And when you see Jerusalem
being encircled by army camps, then recognize that its destruction has come
near.
21 Then let the ones in
Judea flee into the mountains; and the ones in its midst of her, let
them go out. And the ones in the outer spaces, let them not go into her.
22 For these are days of vengeance when
all things that have been written are to be fulfilled.
23 But woe to the ones having
a babe in womb, and the ones suckling in those days; for great distress
will be on the earth and wrath on this people.
24 And they will fall by the mouth
of the sword and will be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem
will be trodden down by nations, until the times of the nations
are fulfilled.
Luke 21:20–24 (NASB95) Back
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by
armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. 21“Then those who are in Judea must flee to
the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those
who are in the country must not enter the city; 22because these are days of vengeance, so
that all things which are written will be fulfilled. 23“Woe to those who are pregnant and to
those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress
upon the land and wrath to this people; 24and they will fall by the edge of the
sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be
trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are
fulfilled.
Luke 21:20-24 (WEB) Back
20 “But when
you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at
hand.
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee
to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who
are in the country not enter therein.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that
all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to
those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the
land, and wrath to this people.
24 They will fall by the edge of the
sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled
down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Leviticus 26:1, 10, 14 (ESV) Back
1“You shall not make idols for yourselves
or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your
land to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God.
10You shall eat old store long kept, and you
shall clear out the old to make way for the new.
14“But if you will not listen to me and will
not do all these commandments,
Leviticus 26:1, 10, 14 (KJ3) Back
1¶ You shall not make idols to
yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a
memorial pillar. And you shall not place any stone image in your land, to bow
yourselves to it; for I am Jehovah your God.
10 And you shall eat very old
store, and clear away the old because of the new coming out.
14¶ And if you will not listen to
Me, and do not do all these commands;
Leviticus 26:1, 10, 14 (NASB95) Back
1‘You shall not make for yourselves idols,
nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you
place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your
God.
10‘You will eat the old supply and clear out
the old because of the new.
14‘But if you do not obey Me and do not
carry out all these commandments,
Leviticus 26:1, 10, 14 (WEB) Back
1 “ ‘You
shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image
or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow
down to it; for I am Yahweh your God.
10 You shall eat old supplies long kept, and
you shall move out the old because of the new.

[3] The WCF has “diverse instructions of moral duties.” These cannot pertain to the moral law as these “moral duties” are in a group twice described as being “ceremonial laws.” To make the distinction, the editor thus substitutes ethical duties as meaning conforming to accepted standards of moral conduct. From the context it is clear that dietary laws, laws pertaining to clean or unclean, standards of dress, and so on, fall into this category. Such laws are ceremonial, but do not pertain directly to worship, the first category. These laws had true moral content since they were, for a time, commanded by God and it is immoral to disobey God.
