Exodus 21:14 in Context — Exodus 21

12 El que hiriere á alguno, haciéndole así morir, él morirá.

13 Mas el que no armó asechanzas, sino que Dios [lo] puso en sus manos, entonces yo te señalaré lugar al cual ha de huir.

14 Además, si alguno se ensoberbeciere contra su prójimo, y lo matare con alevosía, de mi altar lo quitarás para que muera.

15 Y el que hiriere á su padre ó á su madre, morirá.

16 Asimismo el que robare una persona, y la vendiere, ó se hallare en sus manos, morirá.
