13. But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands, then I will appoint for you a place to which he must flee.

14. If someone murders his neighbor with deliberation, by lying in wait, you shall tear him away from my altar, so that he may die.

15. Whoever strikes his father or mother shall die a death.

16. Whoever will have stolen a man and sold him, having been convicted of the crime, shall be put to death.

17. Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother shall die a death.

18. If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck his neighbor with a stone or a fist, and he does not die, but lies in bed,

19. if he gets up again and can walk outside on his staff, he who struck him will be innocent, but only if he makes sufficient restitution for his deeds and for the cost of the physicians.

20. Whoever strikes his male or female servant with a staff, and if they have died by his hands, he shall be guilty of a crime.

21. But if he survives for one day or two, he shall not be subject to punishment, because it is his money.

22. If men will have quarreled, and one of them has struck a pregnant woman, and as a result she miscarries, but she herself survives, he shall be subject to as much damage as the husband of the woman shall petition from him, or as arbitrators shall judge.
