Life and bodily harm

12Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.

13But if he did not lie in wait, and God caused it to come into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.

14But if a man schemes against his neighbor to kill him by treachery, you shall take him even from my altar to die.

15Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

16Whoever kidnaps a man and sells him, or he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.

17Whoever curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18If men quarrel and one strikes his neighbor with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,

19If he gets up and walks about outside on his staff, then the one who struck him shall be cleared; he must only pay for his lost time and have him thoroughly healed.

20And if a man strikes his male servant or his female servant with a rod, and the servant dies under his hand, he must surely be avenged.

21However, if he survives for a day or two, he shall not be avenged, for he is his money.

22When men struggle together and strike a pregnant woman so that her children come out, but there is no harm, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband imposes on him, and he shall pay according to the judges.

23But if there is harm, then you shall give life for life.

24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

26And if a man strikes the eye of his male servant or the eye of his female servant and destroys it, he shall let him go free in compensation for his eye.

27And if he knocks out the tooth of his male servant or the tooth of his female servant, he shall let him go free in compensation for his tooth.
