And he that smiteth
his father or his mother, shall die for it. He that stealeth a man
and selleth him (if it be proved upon him) shall be slain for it.
And he that curseth his father or mother, shall be put to death
for it. If men strive together and one smite another with a stone
or with his fist, so that he die not, but lieth in bed: if he rise
again and walk without upon his staff, then shall he that smote
him go quite: save only he shall bear his charges while he lay in
bed and pay for his healing. If a man smite his servant or his
maid with a staff that they die under his hand, it shall be
avenged. But and if they continue a day or two, it shall not be
avenged for they are his money. When men strive and smite a woman
with child so that her fruit depart from her and yet no misfortune
followeth: then shall he be merced, according as the woman's
husband will lay to his charge, and he shall pay as the daysmen
appoint him. But and if any misfortune follow, then shall he pay
life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot
for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound and stripe for
stripe. If a man smite his servant or his maid in the eye and put
it out, he shall let them go free for the eye's sake.
