He that strikes a man so that he dies, dying he shall die.

But he who does not lie in wait, and God lets fall into his hand, I will appoint a place for you where he may flee.

And when a man seethes insolently against his neighbor, to kill him by deceit, you shall take him from My altar to die.

And he who strikes his father or his mother dying shall die.

And he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, dying he shall die.

And he who curses his father or his mother, dying he shall die.

And when men strive, and one strikes his neighbor with a stone, or with a fist, and he does not die, but falls on his bed,

if he rises and walks about in the street on his staff, the one who struck him shall be innocent; only he shall pay his sitting; paying he shall pay for his healing.

And if a man strikes his male slave or his slave-girl with a rod, and he dies under his hand, avenging he shall be avenged.

But if he continues a day or two, he shall not be avenged, for he is his silver.

And when men fight, and they strike a pregnant woman, and her child goes forth, and there is no injury, being fined he shall be fined. As much as the husband of the woman shall put on him, even he shall give through the judges.

But if injury occurs, you shall give life for life,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

And when a man strikes the eye of his male slave, or the eye of his slave-girl and destroys it, he shall send him away free for his eye.

And if he causes the tooth of his male slave, or the tooth of his slave-girl, to fall out, he shall send him away free for his tooth.
