20 And when a man shall smite his servant or his handmaid with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall, surely be avenged;
21 nevertheless if, for a day or for two days, he continue, he shall not be avenged, for, his silver, he is.
22 And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, but there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.
23 But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life;
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth,—hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 brand for brand, wound for wound,—stripe for stripe.
