Damages and Compensation

“If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,”

“then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.”

“If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.”

“If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.”

“And the LORD said to Moses,”

“Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,”

“If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,”

“then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.”
