Exodus 21:14-21 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

14. If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

15. “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

16. “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17. “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18. “If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;

19. if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

20. “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.

21. Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
