Exodus 21:21-25 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

21. However, if the slave lives a few days after the beating, you are not to be punished. After all, you have already lost the services of that slave who was your property.

22. Suppose a pregnant woman suffers a miscarriage as the result of an injury caused by someone who is fighting. If she isn't badly hurt, the one who injured her must pay whatever fine her husband demands and the judges approve.

23. But if she is seriously injured, the payment will be life for life,

24. eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25. burn for burn, cut for cut, and bruise for bruise.
