Amplified Bible
Exodus 21:20-27
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.
