Impalement on a stake is ordered for a wife procuring her husband's death.
Ordeal by water
Indirectly the death-penalty would often be the consequence of an appeal to the ordeal by water, in §§ 2, 132.
Mutilations
The various sorts of mutilation named are of two types: (1) retaliation for bodily disfigurement, (2) symbolical of the offence itself. Thus eye for eye, tooth for tooth, limb for limb, are pure retaliations. But the hands cut off mark the sin of the hands in striking a father, in unlawful surgery, or in branding. The eye torn out was the punishing of unlawful curiosity. The ear cut off marked the sin of the organ of hearing and obedience. The tongue was cut out for the ingratitude evidenced in speech.
Scourging
Scourging is the only other form of corporal punishment. It was done with an ox-hide scourge, or thong, and sixty strokes were ordered to be publicly inflicted for a gross assault on a superior.
Banishment
Banishment from the city was the penalty for incest.[156]
