Exodus 21:21-23
New International Reader's Version
21 But they will not be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two. After all, the slave is their property.
22 “Suppose some people are fighting and one of them hits a pregnant woman. And suppose she has her baby early but is not badly hurt. Then the one who hurt her must pay a fine. That person must pay what the woman’s husband asks for and the court allows. 23 But if someone is badly hurt, a life must be taken for a life.
