“When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies under his abuse, the owner must be punished.

Then the Lord replied to him, “In that case, whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” And He placed a mark on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.

If Cain is to be avenged seven times over,
then for Lamech it will be seventy-seven times!

Whoever sheds man’s blood,
his blood will be shed by man,
for God made man in His image.

“When a man strikes the eye of his male or female slave and destroys it, he must let the slave go free in compensation for his eye.

The avenger of blood himself is to kill the murderer; when he finds him, he is to kill him.

“If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death based on the word of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of one witness.

You must not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.

A slave cannot be disciplined by words;
though he understands, he doesn’t respond.

“Why have we fasted, but You have not seen?
We have denied ourselves, but You haven’t noticed!”
“Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast,
and oppress all your workers.

For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.
