And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.

And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

—if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.

And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.

And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.

If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.

the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.

—And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.

Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.

If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.

If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make [it] good.

—If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;

if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

As to all manner of fraud,—as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this—the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.

If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],

an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.
