Exodus 21:18-27

18“If men quarrel and one strikes another with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,

19if he gets up and walks around leaning on his cane, then the one who struck him shall be left [physically] unpunished; he must only pay for his loss of time [at work], and the costs [of treatment and recuperation] until he is thoroughly healed.

20“If a man strikes his male or his female servant with a staff and the servant dies at his hand, he must be punished.

21If, however, the servant survives for a day or two, the offender shall not be punished, for the [injured] servant is his own property.

22“If men fight with each other and injure a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely [and the baby lives], yet there is no further injury, the one who hurt her must be punished with a fine [paid] to the woman’s husband, as much as the judges decide.

23But if there is any further injury, then you shall require [as a penalty] life for life,

24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

26“If a man hits the eye of his male servant or female servant and it is destroyed, he must let the servant go free because of [the loss of] the eye.

27And if he knocks out the tooth of his male servant or female servant, he must let the servant go free because of [the loss of] the tooth.
