"And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18
"If men contend with each other, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed,
19
if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then he who struck him shall be acquitted. He shall only pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for him to be thoroughly healed.
20
"And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21
Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property.
22
"If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23
But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
24
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25
burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26
If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
27
And if he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.
