| 8. | Ke ukuba ithe ayayikholisa inkosi yayo, ebizimisele yona, yoyivumela ukuba ikhululwe ngentlawulelo; ke ayiyi kuba nagunya lakuthengisa ngayo kubantu bolunye uhlanga, ukuba iyitshinizele. |

| 24. | iliso ngeliso, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, unyawo ngonyawo, |
| 25. | ukutshiswa ngokutshiswa, inxeba ngenxeba, umvumbo ngomvumbo. |
| 26. | Xa athe umntu wasibetha esweni isicaka sakhe, nokuba uthe wasibetha esweni isicakakazi sakhe, latyhaphaka: makasindulule sikhululekile ngenxa yeliso laso. |
| 27. | Ukuba uthe wakhumla izinyo lesicaka sakhe, nokuba lelesicakakazi sakhe: makasindulule sikhululekile ngenxa yezinyo laso. |
| 28. | Ke xa inkomo ithe yahlaba indoda, nokuba yinkazana, yafa: loo nkomo mayigityiselwe ngamatye, ingadliwa inyama yayo; umnininkomo woba msulwa. |
| 29. | Ke ukuba inkomo leyo ibihlaba kakade, waza waziswa umniniyo, akayigcina noko, yaza yabulala indoda, nokuba yinkazana: mayigityiselwe ngamatye inkomo leyo, kananjalo nomniniyo makabulawe. |
| 30. | Ukuba uthe wamiselwa intlawulo yokuzicamagushela, makayirhole akhulule umphefumlo wakhe, ngako konke akumiselweyo. |
| 31. | Nokuba ihlabe unyana, nokuba ihlabe intombi, makwenziwe kuye ngelo siko. |
| 32. | Ukuba inkomo yakhe ithe yahlaba isicaka, nokuba sisicakakazi, makarholele inkosi yaso iishekele zesilivere ezimashumi mathathu, inkomo yona igityiselwe ngamatye. |
| 33. | Xa umntu athe wavula umhadi, naxa umntu athe wemba umhadi, akawuvingca, kweyela inkomo, nokuba liesile, kuwo: |
| 34. | umninimhadi woyimisela, ambuyisele umniniyo ngemali, leyo ifileyo ibe yeyakhe. |
| 35. | Xa ithe inkomo yomntu yahlaba inkomo yommelwane wakhe, yafa, mabathengise ngenkomo leyo iphilileyo, bayahlule imali yayo; kananjalo mabayahlule leyo ifileyo. |
| 36. | Ukuba kwakusazeka ukuba inkomo leyo ibihlaba kakade, akayigcina umniniyo: makayimisele inkomo ngenkomo, leyo ifileyo ibe yeyakhe. |
