    #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.”
