Exodus 21:12-21

12He that smiteth a manH376, so that he dieth, shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191. 13And if a man lie not in wait, but GodH430 deliver him into his handH3027; then I will appointH7760 thee a placeH4725 whither he shall fleeH5127. 14And if a manH376 come presumptuouslyH2102 upon his neighborH7453, to slayH2026 him with guile; thou shalt takeH3947 him from mine altarH4196, that he may dieH4191.

15And he that smiteth his fatherH1, or his motherH517, shall be surely putH4191 to deathH4191.

16And he that stealeth a manH376, and selleth him, or if he be foundH4672 in his handH3027, he shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191.

17And he that curseth his fatherH1 or his motherH517, shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191.

18And if menH376 contendH7378, and oneH376 smite the other with a stoneH68, or with his fistH106, and he dieH4191 not, but keep his bedH4904; 19if he riseH6965 again, and walkH1980 abroad upon his staffH4938, then shall he that smote him be quit: onlyH7535 he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healedH7495.

20And if a manH376 smite his servantH5650, or his maid, with a rodH7626, and he dieH4191 under his handH3027; he shall surely be punished. 21Notwithstanding, if he continue a dayH3117 or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his moneyH3701.
