Exodus 21:15-20

¹⁵He that smytith his fadir, ether modir, die by deeth.

¹⁶He that cursith his fadir, ether modir, die bi deeth.

¹⁷He that stelith a man, and sillith hym, if he is conuyt of the gilt, die bi deeth.

¹⁸If men chiden, and the tother smyte his neiybore with a stoon, ether with the fist, and he is not deed, but liggith in the bed,

¹⁹if he risith, and goith forth on his staf, he that smoot schal be innocent; so netheles that he restore hise trauelis, and costis in lechis.

²⁰He that smytith his seruaunt, ether handmayde, with a yerde, and thei ben deed in hise hondis, schal be gilti of cryme.
