If his masterhavegiven him a wife, and she haveborn him sons or daughters; the wife and her childrenshall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
Then his mastershallbring him unto the judges; he shallalsobring him to the door, or unto the doorpost; and his mastershallbore his ear throughwith an aul; and he shallserve him for ever.
If she please not her master, who hathbetrothed her to himself, thenshall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strangenation he shallhave no power, seeing he hathdealtdeceitfullywith her.
If he riseagain, and walkabroadupon his staff, thenshall he thatsmote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shallcause him to be thoroughlyhealed.
If men strive, and hurt a womanwithchild, so that her fruitdepartfrom her, and yet no mischieffollow: he shall be surelypunished, according as the woman’shusbandwill lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judgesdetermine.
If an ox gore a man or a woman, thatthey die: then the ox shall be surelystoned, and his fleshshall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
But if the ox werewont to pushwith his horn in timepast, and it hathbeentestified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hathkilled a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owneralsoshall be put to death.
Or if it be knownthat the ox hathused to push in timepast, and his ownerhath not kept him in; he shallsurely pay ox for ox; and the deadshall be his own.
