Exodus 21:12-21

12“1He who strikes someone so that he dies shall certainly be put to death. 132Yet 3if he did not lie in wait for him, but 4God caused him to fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee. 145If, however, someone is enraged against his neighbor, so as to kill him in a cunning way, you are to take him even from My altar, to be put to death.

15“And one who strikes his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death.

16“Now 6one who 7kidnaps someone, whether he sells him or he is found in his 8possession, shall certainly be put to death.

17“And 9one who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death.

18“Now if people have a quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with a fist, and he does not die but 10is confined to 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 pay for his care until he is completely healed.

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