"If a slave owner takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the owner is to be punished.

But if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not to be punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough.

"Suppose a man is caught in a town having intercourse with a young woman who is engaged to someone else.

You are to take them outside the town and stone them to death. She is to die because she did not cry out for help, although she was in a town, where she could have been heard. And the man is to die because he had intercourse with someone who was engaged. In this way you will get rid of this evil.
