Exodus 21:22-27 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          22If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.
          23But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life —
          24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
          25burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.

²⁶If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.

²⁷And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
