"And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.
8
If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
9
And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters.
10
If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights.
11
And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free, without paying money.
12
"He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.
13
However, if he did not lie in wait, but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14
"But if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor, to kill him by treachery, you shall take him from My altar, that he may die.

"And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
16
"He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17
"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.

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.
