Exodus 21:12-21

12He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.

13But if he have not lain in wait, and 1God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.

14But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

15And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

16And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.

17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

18And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

19— if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

20And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

21Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.
