Wenn jemand seinen Knecht oder seine Magd in ein Auge schlägt und verderbt es, der soll sie frei loslassen um das Auge.

Si alguien golpea el ojo de su esclavo o de su esclava y lo destruye, le dará la libertad en compensación por su ojo.
Si un homme frappe l'oeil de son esclave, homme ou femme, et qu'il lui fasse perdre l'oeil, il le mettra en liberté, pour prix de son oeil.
E quando alcuno avrà percosso l’occhio del suo servo, o l’occhio della sua serva, e l’avrà guasto; lascilo andar franco per lo suo occhio.
E quando alguém ferir o olho do seu servo, ou o olho da sua serva, e o danificar, o deixará ir livre pelo seu olho.
「人若打奴僕或婢女的眼睛,毀了一隻,就要因他的眼讓他自由離去。
