Exodus 21:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Punishments for Personal Injury.^[a]“When people are fighting and one of them injures the other with a stone or with a fist, and this does not kill the other but causes a serious injury, ¹⁹ and yet the injured party is able to walk around with a staff, then the one who struck the blow shall be held to be innocent. He must, however, pay the victim for the time he lost on account of the injury and he must pay for his medical care.

²⁰ “When a man strikes his male or female slave with a staff and kills that slave, he shall surely be punished.
