Exodus 21:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 21:22

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,

24 ^aeye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

26 “If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye.
