(19) If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff.--The charge of murder was not to be kept hanging over a man indefinitely.

Verse 19. - If he rise again and walk upon his staff. If he recovered sufficiently to leave his bed, and get about with a stick to lean on, his hurt was not to be brought up against the injurer, though he died soon afterwards. Compensation was to be received, and the score regarded as wiped off.
