Exodus:21:12-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
He that smiteth a man ,
so that he die ,
shall be surely put to death .
*
And if a man lie not in wait ,
but God deliver him into his hand ;
then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee .
*
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour ,
to slay him with guile ;
thou shalt take him from mine altar ,
that he may die .
*
And he that smiteth his father ,
or his mother ,
shall be surely put to death .
*
And he that stealeth a man ,
and selleth him ,
or if he be found in his hand ,
he shall surely be put to death .
*
And he that curseth his father ,
or his mother ,
shall surely be put to death .
*
And if men strive together ,
and one smite another with a stone ,
or with his fist ,
and he die not ,
but keepeth his bed :
*
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 .
*
And if a man smite his servant ,
or his maid ,
with a rod ,
and he die under his hand ;
he shall be surely punished .
*
Notwithstanding ,
if he continue a day or two ,
he shall not be punished :
for he is his money .
*
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 .
*
And if any mischief follow ,
then thou shalt give life for life ,
*
Eye for eye ,
tooth for tooth ,
hand for hand ,
foot for foot ,
*
Burning for burning ,
wound for wound ,
stripe for stripe .
