Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Exodus 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.
