Exodus 21:12-21

12“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies must surely be put to death.

13But if he did not hunt him down, yet God caused it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may run.

14If a man presumes to kill his neighbor with craftiness, you are to take him from My altar and put him to death.

15“Anyone who strikes his father or his mother must surely be put to death.

16“Anyone who steals a person and sells him, or is found with him under his hand, must surely be put to death.

17“Whoever curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death.

18“If people quarrel, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and the other does not die but lies in bed,

19if he rises again and walks around on his staff, then the one that struck him he will be cleared. But he must pay for the loss of his time and help him to be thoroughly healed.

20“If a man strikes his male or female servant with a staff, who dies by his hand, he must surely be punished.

21Notwithstanding, if the servant gets up in a day or two he will not be punished, for he is his property.
