Exodus 21:19-24
19and then if he gets up and walks about outside on his staff, then the one who struck him is innocent, except he must pay for the injured person’s loss of time and see to it that he is fully healed.
20“If a man strikes his male servant or his female servant with a staff so that he or she dies as a result of the blow, he will surely be punished.
21However, if the injured servant survives one or two days, the owner will not be punished, for he has suffered the loss.
22“If men fight and hit a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no serious injury, he will surely be punished in accordance with what the woman’s husband demands of him, and he will pay what the court decides.
23But if there is serious injury, then you will give a life for a life,
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
