* If men strive with each other , and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist , and he does not die but is confined to his bed , * if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff , then he who struck him shall be acquitted . He shall only pay for the loss of his time , and shall provide for him to be healed of his injuries . * And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod , so that he dies under his hand , vengeance shall be taken to avenge . * Nevertheless , if he continues a day or two , vengeance shall not be taken ; for he is part of his assets . * If men fight , and strike a pregnant woman , so that the child comes forth , without harm , he shall be punished to pay a fine as the woman ’s husband imposes upon him ; and he shall pay according to the assessment . * But if there is harm , then you shall requite soul for soul ; * eye for eye , tooth for tooth , hand for hand , foot for foot , * burn for burn , wound for wound , stripe for stripe . * If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant , and destroys it , he shall let him go free in exchange for his eye . * And if he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant , he shall let him go free for his tooth . * If an ox gores a man or a woman to death , then the ox shall be stoned to death with stones , and its flesh shall not be eaten ; but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted . * But if the ox tended to thrust with its horn in times past , and the owner has been given warning , and he has not kept it restrained , so that it has killed a man or a woman , the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death . * If a ransom is imposed upon him , then he shall pay to redeem his life , whatever is imposed upon him . * Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter , according to this judgment it shall be done unto him . * If the ox gores a male or female servant , he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver , and the ox shall be stoned . * And if a man opens a pit , or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it , and an ox or a donkey falls into it , * the owner of the pit shall make compensation ; he shall give money to the owner , and the dead animal shall be his . * If one man ’s ox strikes against the ox of his neighbor , so that it dies , then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money ; and the dead ox they shall also divide . * Or if it was known that the ox tended to thrust in time past , and its owner has not kept it restrained , he shall make compensation to pay , ox for ox , and the dead shall be his .
