Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 21:20-25
-
"And if a man smite his servant,
or his maid, with a rod,
and he die under his hand; he shall be surely
punished.
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he
shall not be punished: for he is his money.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her
fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he
shall be surely punished, according as the woman's
husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the
judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou
shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning,
wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
