Exodus 21:12-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

12. He that strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to death.

13. And if a man lie not in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14. But if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

15. And he that strikes his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

16. And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17. And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

18. And if men strive together, and one strikes another with a stone, or with his fist, and he dies not, but keeps his bed:

19. If he rises again, and walks about upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be clear: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

20. And if a man strikes his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he dies under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

21. But, if he continues a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his property.

22. If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no mischief follows: 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 follows, then you shall give life for life,
