9. "What if he chooses her to get married to his son? Then he must grant her the rights of a daughter.

10. "What if he marries another woman? He must still give the first one her food and clothes and make love to her.

11. If he does not provide her with those three things, she can go free. She does not have to pay anything.

12. "You can be sure that if anyone hits and kills someone else, he will be put to death.

13. Suppose he did not do it on purpose. Suppose I let it happen. Then he can escape to a place I will choose.

14. But suppose he kills someone on purpose. Then take him away from my altar and put him to death.

15. "If anyone attacks his father or mother, he will be put to death.
