Exodus 21:20 In-Context

18 "When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does not die but keeps his bed,
19 then if the man rises again and walks abroad with his staff, he that struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed.
20 "When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.
21 But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money.
22 "When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
