And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
Si un hombre golpea a su siervo o sierva con una vara y el siervo muere a causa de los golpes, el amo debe ser castigado sin falta.
El amo que mata a golpes a su siervo debe recibir castigo obligatoriamente.
