Exodus 21:12-21

“Anyone who hits a person and kills him must be put to death. But if a person kills someone accidentally, God allowed that to happen, so the person must go to a place I will choose. But if someone plans and murders another person on purpose, put him to death, even if he has run to my altar for safety. “Anyone who hits his father or his mother must be put to death. “Anyone who kidnaps someone and either sells him as a slave or still has him when he is caught must be put to death. “Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death. “If two men argue, and one hits the other with a rock or with his fist, the one who is hurt but not killed might have to stay in bed. Later if he is able to get up and walk around outside with his walking stick, the one who hit him is not to be punished. But he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time, and he must support the injured man until he is completely healed. “If a man beats his male or female slave with a stick, and the slave dies on the spot, the owner must be punished. But if the slave gets well after a day or two, the owner will not be punished since the slave belongs to him.
