Exodous 21:18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone,
or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that
smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall
cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under
his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished:
for he is his money.
22 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.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that
it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth;
he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely
stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall
be quit.
29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath
been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath
killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall
be put to death.
30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom
of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this
judgment shall it be done unto him.
32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto
their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover
it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner
of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell
the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall
divide.
36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his
owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead
shall be his own.
