20 “And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his aproperty.
22 “If men1 fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that2 she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall apay as the judges determine.
23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
