Exodus 21:19-24
19then the one who struck himH5221 shall go unpunishedH5352, as long asH518 the other can get upH6965 and walk aroundH1980 outsideH2351 withH5921 his staffH4938. NeverthelessH7535, he must compensateH5414 the man for his lost workH7674 and see that he is completely healedH7495.
20IfH3588 a manH376 strikesH5221 his manservantH5650 orH176 maidservantH519 with a rodH7626, and the servant diesH4191 byH8478 his handH3027, he shall surely be punishedH5358. 21HoweverH389, ifH518 the servant gets upH5975 after a dayH3117 orH176 twoH3117, the owner shall notH3808 be punishedH5358, sinceH3588 the servant is his propertyH3701.
22IfH3588 menH582 who are fightingH5327 strikeH5062 a pregnantH2030 womanH802 and her childH3206 is born prematurelyH3318,1 but there isH1961 noH3808 further injuryH611, he shall surely be finedH6064 asH834 the woman’sH802 husbandH1167 demandsH7896 and as the court allowsH5414H6414. 23But ifH518 a serious injuryH611 resultsH1961, then you must requireH5414 a lifeH5315 forH8478 a lifeH5315— 24eyeH5869 forH8478 eyeH5869, toothH8127 forH8478 toothH8127,2 handH3027 forH8478 handH3027, footH7272 forH8478 footH7272,
