17 'Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 'If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;
19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
20 'If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.
