14. But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbour to slay him with prudence, thou shalt take him from my altar that he may die.
15. And he that smites his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
16. Likewise he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17. In the same manner he that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18. And if men strive together and one smites another with a stone or with his fist and he dies not, but keeps his bed,
19. if he rises again and walks abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be absolved, only he shall pay for the loss of his time and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20. And if a man smites his slave or his maid with a rod and he dies under his hand, he shall be surely punished.
21. Notwithstanding, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his money.
22. If men strive and hurt a woman with child so that she aborts but without death, he shall be surely punished according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him, and he shall pay by the judges.
