16. Whoever kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or is found with him in his possession, shall surely be put to death.
17. Whoever curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18. If men quarrel and one strikes another with a stone or with his fist and he does not die but keeps his bed,
19. If he rises again and walks about leaning upon his staff, then he that struck him shall be clear, except he must pay for the loss of his time and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20. And if a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod and he [or she] dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21. But if the servant lives on for a day or two, the offender shall not be punished, for he [has injured] his own property.
22. If men contend with each other, and a pregnant woman [interfering] is hurt so that she has a miscarriage, yet no further damage follows, [the one who hurt her] shall surely be punished with a fine [paid] to the woman's husband, as much as the judges determine.
23. But if any damage 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, and lash for lash.
26. And if a man hits the eye of his servant or the eye of his maid so that it is destroyed, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27. And if he knocks out his manservant's tooth or his maidservant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28. If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear.
29. But if the ox has tried to gore before, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it closed in and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also put to death.
30. If a ransom is put on [the man's] life, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.
31. If the [man's ox] has gored another's son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule.
