22And ifH3588 menH376 strive togetherH5921, and hurt a womanH802 with childH3206, soH1961 that herH5921 fruit departH3318, and yet noH3808 mischief followH1961: he shall be surelyH3588 finedH6064, accordingH5921 as the woman’sH802 husbandH376 shall layH5414 uponH5921 him; and he shall payH5414 as the judgesH6414 determine. 23But ifH518 anyH1961 mischief followH1961, then thou shalt giveH5414 lifeH5315 for lifeH5315, 24eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272, 25burning for burning, woundH6482 for woundH6482, stripe for stripe. 26And ifH3588 a manH376 smiteH5221 the eyeH5869 of his servantH5650, or the eyeH5869 of his maidH519, and destroyH7843 it; he shall letH7971 him goH7971 freeH2670 for his eye’s sake. 27And ifH518 he smite outH7971 his manservant’s toothH8127, or his maidservant’s toothH8127; he shall letH7971 him goH7971 freeH2670 for his tooth’s sake. 28And ifH3588 an oxH7794 goreH5055 a manH376 or a womanH802, that they dieH4191, the oxH7794 shall be surelyH3588 stonedH5619, and his fleshH1320 shall notH3808 be eatenH398; but the ownerH1167 of the oxH7794 shall be quit. 29But ifH518 the oxH7794 were wont to gore in time pastH8543, and it hath been testifiedH5749 to his ownerH1167, and he hath notH3808 keptH8104 him in, but that he hath killedH4191 a manH376 or a womanH802; the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619, and his ownerH1167 also shall be putH4191 to deathH4191. 30IfH518 there be laidH5414 on him a ransomH3724, then he shall giveH5414 for the redemption of his lifeH5315 whatsoeverH3605 is laidH5414 uponH5921 him. 31WhetherH176 he have gored a sonH1121, or have gored a daughterH1323, accordingH4941 to this judgmentH4941 shall it be doneH6213 unto him. 32IfH518 the oxH7794 goreH5055 a manservant or a maidservantH519; he shall giveH5414 unto their masterH113 thirtyH7970 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and the oxH7794 shall be stonedH5619. 33And ifH3588 a manH376 shall openH6605 a pitH953, or ifH3588 a manH376 shall digH3738 a pitH953 and notH3808 coverH3680 it, and an oxH7794 or an ass fallH5307 therein, 34the ownerH1167 of the pitH953 shall makeH7725 it good; he shall giveH7725 moneyH3701 unto the ownerH1167 of them, and the deadH4191 beast shall be his. 35And ifH3588 one man’sH376 oxH7794 hurt another’sH7453, that he dieH4191; then they shall sellH4376 the liveH2416 oxH7794, and divideH2673 the priceH3701 of it; and the deadH4191 also they shall divideH2673. 36Or ifH3588 it be knownH3045 that the oxH7794 was wont to gore in time pastH8543, and his ownerH1167 hath notH3808 keptH8104 him in; he shall surelyH3588 payH7999 oxH7794 for oxH7794, and the deadH4191 beast shall be his ownH1961.
