Exodus 21:22-36

22“Now if people struggle with each other and strike a pregnant woman so that 1she gives birth prematurely, but there is no injury, the guilty person shall certainly be fined as the woman’s husband 2may demand of him, and he shall 3pay 4as the judges decide. 23But if there is any further injury, 5then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 246eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, 7bruise for bruise.

26“And if someone strikes the eye of his male or female slave and destroys it, he shall let 8the slave go free on account of the eye. 27And if he 9knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let 10the slave go free on account of the tooth.

28“Now if an ox gores a man or a woman 11to death, 12the ox shall certainly be stoned and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall go unpunished. 29If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. 30If a ransom is 13demanded of him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is 14demanded of him. 31Whether it gores a son or 15a daughter, it shall be done to him according to 16the same rule. 32If the ox gores a male or female slave, 17the owner shall give his or her master 1819thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

33“Now if someone opens a pit, or 20digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall 21give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall become his.

35“And if someone’s ox injures another’s ox so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its proceeds equally; and they shall also divide the dead ox. 36Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not confined it, he must make restitution of ox for ox, and the dead animal shall become his.
