In context

¹⁴If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.

¹⁵If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.

¹⁶If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

¹⁷If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.

¹⁸You must not allow a sorceress to live.
