Exodus 21:12-21

12“1He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death. 132But 3if he did not lie in wait for him, but 4God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee. 145If, however, a man acts presumptuously toward his neighbor, so as to kill him craftily, you are to take him even from My altar, that he may die.

15“He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

16“6He who 7kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his 8possession, shall surely be put to death.

17“9He who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18“If men have a quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but 10remains in bed, 19if he gets up and walks around outside on his staff, then he who struck him shall go unpunished; he shall only pay for his 11loss of time, and 12shall take care of him until he is completely healed.

20“If a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod and he dies 13at his hand, he shall 14be punished. 21If, however, he 15survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken; 16for he is his 17property.
