21:7	And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

21:32	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.
21:33	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;
21:34	The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
