Desgleichen, wenn er seinem Knecht oder seiner Magd einen Zahn ausschlägt, soll er sie frei loslassen um den Zahn.
Y si sacare el diente de su siervo, o el diente de su sierva, por su diente le dejará ir libre.
Et s'il fait tomber une dent à son esclave, homme ou femme, il le mettra en liberté, pour prix de sa dent.
Parimente, se ha fatto cadere un dente al suo servo o alla sua serva, lascilo andar franco per lo suo dente.
E se tirar o dente do seu servo, ou o dente da sua serva, o deixará ir livre pelo seu dente.
若打掉了奴僕或婢女的一顆牙,就要因他的牙讓他自由離去。」
