Exodus 21:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 21:20

18 “If men contend with each other, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed,

19 if he rises again and walks about outside ^awith his staff, then he who struck him shall be¹ acquitted. He shall only pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for him to be thoroughly healed.

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,
