Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now these are the judgments,.... The judicial laws respecting the civil state of the people of Israel, so called because they are founded on justice and equity, and are according to the judgment of God, whose judgment is according to truth; and because they are such by which the commonwealth of Israel was to be judged or governed, and were to be the rule of their conduct to one another, and a rule of judgment to their judges in the execution of judgment and justice among them:
which thou shall set before them; besides the ten commands before delivered. They were spoken by God himself in the hearing of the people; these were delivered to Moses after he went up to the mount again, at the request of the people, to be their mediator, to be by him set before them as the rule of their behaviour, and to enjoin them the observance of them; in order to which he was not only to rehearse them, but to write them out, and set them in a plain and easy light before them: and though they did not hear these with their own ears from God himself, as the ten commands; yet, as they had the utmost reason to believe they came from him, and it was at their own request that he, and not God, might speak unto them what was further to be said, with a promise they would obey it, as if they had immediately heard it from him; it became them to receive these laws as of God, and yield a cheerful obedience to them; nor do we find they ever questioned the authority of them; and as their government was a Theocracy, and God was more immediately their King than he was of any other people, it was but right, and what might be expected, that they should have their civil laws from him, and which was their privilege, and gave them the preference to all other nations, Deuteronomy 4:5.

CHAPTER XXI
Laws concerning servants. They shall serve for only seven
years, 1, 2.
If a servant brought a wife to servitude with him, both should go
out free on the seventh year, 3.
If his master had given him a wife, and she bore him children, he
might go out free an the seventh year, but his wife and children
must remain, as the property of the master, 4.
If, through love to his master, wife, and children, he did not
choose to avail himself of the privilege granted by the law, of
going out free on the seventh year, his ear was to be bored to the
door post with an awl, as an emblem of his being attached to the
family for ever, 5, 6.
Laws concerning maid-servants, betrothed to their masters or to
the sons of their masters, 7-11.

between a master and his servants, 20, 21.
Of injuries done to women in pregnancy, 22.

freedom, 26, 27.

Of the pit left uncovered, into which a man or a beast has
fallen, 33, 34.
Laws concerning the ox that kills another, 35, 36.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXI
Verse Exodus 21:1. Now these are the judgments — There is so much good sense, feeling, humanity, equity, and justice in the following laws, that they cannot but be admired by every intelligent reader; and they are so very plain as to require very little comment. The laws in this chapter are termed political, those in the succeeding chapter judicial, laws; and are supposed to have been delivered to Moses alone, in consequence of the request of the people, Exodus 20:19, that God should communicate his will to Moses, and that Moses should, as mediator, convey it to them.
