Exodus 21:19-21

New Catholic Bible

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. ²¹ But if the slave lives for a day or two, the slave-owner shall not be punished, for the slave is his property.
