Exodus 21:19 BBE

¹⁷  Any man cursing his father or his mother is to be put to death.

¹⁸  If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed;

¹⁹  If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well.

²⁰  If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.

²¹  But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.
