Exodus 21:20-27

20“If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished.

21But if the slave recovers within a day or two, then the owner shall not be punished, since the slave is his property.

22“Now suppose two men are fighting, and in the process they accidentally strike a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely. If no further injury results, the man who struck the woman must pay the amount of compensation the woman’s husband demands and the judges approve.

23But if there is further injury, the punishment must match the injury: a life for a life,

24an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,

25a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.

26“If a man hits his male or female slave in the eye and the eye is blinded, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye.

27And if a man knocks out the tooth of his male or female slave, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.
