משנה: וְאֵילּוּ הֵן הַנֶּחֱנָקִין הַמַּכֶּה אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ וְגוֹנֵב נֶפֶשׁ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְזָקֵן מַמְרֵא עַל פִּי בֵית דִּין וּנְבִיא הַשֶּׁקֶר וְהַמִּתְנַבֵּא בְּשֵׁם עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה וְהַבָּא עַל אֵשֶׁת אִישׁ וְזוֹמְמֵי בַת כֹּהֵן וּבוֹעֲלָהּ. הַמַּכֶּה אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ אֵינוֹ חַיָיב עַד שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בָהֶן חַבּוּרָה. זֶה חוֹמֶר בַּמְקַלֵּל מִבַּמַּכֶּה שֶׁהַמְקַלֵּל לְאַחַר מִיתָה חַיָיב וְהַמַּכֶּה לְאַחַר מִיתָה פָּטוּר.
MISHNAH: But the following are strangled: One who hits his father or his mother, and one who kidnaps a person from Israel, and the Elder who rebels against the Court, and the false prophet, and one who prophesies in the name of foreign worship, and one who copulates with a married woman, and the perjured witness of a Cohen’s daughter and her paramour. One who hits his father or his mother is not punishable unless he inflict a wound on them. The following is more aggravating about one who curses than one who hits, in that one who curses is punishable even after death, but one who hits after death cannot be prosecuted.
