1
Thou shalt not suffer a murderera to live:
2
They that smitetha a man or a woman, so that they die shall be surely put to death.
3
And if one lie not in wait, but Ha’Elohima deliver themb into their hand (or if it was an accident), then the Judge will appoint thee a place whither they shall flee.
4
But if a man or a woman comes presumptuously upon their neighbor to slay them with guile, thou shalt take them away from mine altara, that they may die.
5
¶ And a man or a woman that smitetha their father or their mother shall be surely put to death.
6
And a man or a woman that brings an evil cursea upon their father or their mother, that they be taken early shall surely be put to death.
7
¶ If a man or a woman should strive and hurt a woman with childa so that her fruit depart from herb, and yet no mischiefc follow, they shall be surely punished, according as the husband of the woman will layd upon them; and they shall pay as the judges determine.
8
But if any mischiefa follow, and the woman should die, then ye shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
9
¶ And a man or a woman that stealeth anothera and selleth them into slavery, or if they be found in their hand, they shall surely be put to death.
10
¶ And if any should strive togethera and one smite another with a stone or with their fists and they die not, but keepeth their bed,
11
If they rise again and walk abroad upon their staff, then shall they that smote them be quit; only they shall pay for the loss of their time and shall cause them to be thoroughly healed.
12
¶ And if a man or a woman should smite their servant or their maid with a rod and they die under their hand, they shall surely be put to death.
13
Notwithstanding, if they continue a day or two and recover, they shall not be put to death, for they are the servant, but their wages shall be paida as though they were fit in their duties.
14
And if a man or a woman smite the eye of their servant or the eye of their maid, that it perish, they shall let them go free with their wagesa for the sake of the eye.
15
And if a man or a woman smite out their servant's tooth, they shall let them go free with their wagesa for the tooth's sake.
16
¶ If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall not be accountable.
17
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to the owner of it, and they hath not kept the ox in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and the owner also shall be put to death.
18
If there be laid on the owner of the ox a sum of money, then they shall give for the ransom of their life whatsoever is laid upon them.
19
Whether the ox gored a son or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done.
20
¶ And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein, then the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be theirs.
21
And if an ox hurt another ox, that he die, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide;
22
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
23
¶ If a man or a woman shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it, they shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
24
If fire should break out and catch in thorns so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed therewith, they that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
