Exodus 21:20-22

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. ²¹ But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money.

²² “When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall^[a] be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
