10 And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel: and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
10
A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp.

11

13
The Lord said to Moses, saying:
14 Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp: and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head: and let all the people stone him.
14
Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands on his head, and let the whole congregation stone him.

19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
19
Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return:
20 Breach for breach, eye for ere, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
20
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
21
One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death.

22
You shall have one law for the alien and for the citizen: for I am the Lord your God.
