56 The penalties for wounding or striking a person depend upon the
severity of the injury; for each degree the Lord of Judgement hath
prescribed a certain indemnity. He is, in truth, the Ordainer, the Mighty,
the Most Exalted. We shall, if it be Our Will, set forth these payments in
their just degrees--this is a promise on Our part, and He, verily, is the
Keeper of His pledge, the Knower of all things.

57 Verily, it is enjoined upon you to offer a feast, once in every month,
though only water be served; for God hath purposed to bind hearts
together, albeit through both earthly and heavenly means.

58 Beware lest the desires of the flesh and of a corrupt inclination
provoke divisions among you. Be ye as the fingers of one hand, the members
of one body. Thus counselleth you the Pen of Revelation, if ye be of them

59 Consider the mercy of God and His gifts. He enjoineth upon you that

to excess. Tread ye the path of justice and equity in all things. Thus

hath granted them no right to the property of others. He, verily, is
self-sufficient, above any need of His creatures.

62 Should anyone intentionally destroy a house by fire, him also shall ye
burn; should anyone deliberately take another's life, him also shall ye
put to death. Take ye hold of the precepts of God with all your strength
