#21 is my favorite:

"If a man broke into a house, he will be executed and hung in front of that breach."

This was back when houses had mud walls, the translation I read years ago was more brutal... Basically "If you break into someone's house to steal, you'll be killed and your body used to seal the hole you made."

If a man lies, execution. Steals execution. Insults your goat, also execution. Does not like your hairdo, believe it or not, execution.
