Laws Concerning Personal Injury

Exodus 21:22-27

If 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.

But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life—

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.

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

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