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.
