Exodus 21:12-21

“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies must be put to death. However, if he did not lie in wait [for him], but God allowed him to fall into his hand, then I will establish for you a place to which he may escape [for protection until duly tried]. [Num 35:22-28] But if a man acts intentionally against another and kills him by [design through] treachery, you are to take him from My altar [to which he may have fled for protection], so that he may be put to death. “Whoever strikes his father or his mother must be put to death. “Whoever kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or is found with him in his possession, must be put to death. “Whoever curses his father or his mother or treats them contemptuously must be put to death. “If men quarrel and one strikes another with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed, if he gets up and walks around leaning on his cane, then the one who struck him shall be left [physically] unpunished; he must only pay for his loss of time [at work], and the costs [of treatment and recuperation] until he is thoroughly healed. “If a man strikes his male or his female servant with a staff and the servant dies at his hand, he must be punished. If, however, the servant survives for a day or two, the offender shall not be punished, for the [injured] servant is his own property.
