1. If two people have an argument and go to court, the judges will decide the case. They will declare one person right and the other guilty.
2. If the guilty person has to be punished with a beating, the judge will make that person lie down and be beaten in front of him. The number of lashes should match the crime.
3. But don’t hit a person more than forty times, because more than that would disgrace him before others.
4. When an ox is working in the grain, do not cover its mouth to keep it from eating.
5. If two brothers are living together, and one of them dies without having a son, his widow must not marry someone outside her husband’s family. Her husband’s brother must marry her, which is his duty to her as a brother-in-law.
