Exodus 21:24 in Context — Exodus 21

22 Si algunos riñeren, é hiriesen á mujer preñada, y ésta abortare, pero sin haber muerte, será penado conforme á lo que le impusiere el marido de la mujer y juzgaren los árbitros.

23 Mas si hubiere muerte, entonces pagarás vida por vida,

24 Ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie,

25 Quemadura por quemadura, herida por herida, golpe por golpe.

26 Y cuando alguno hiriere el ojo de su siervo, ó el ojo de su sierva, y lo entortare, darále libertad por razón de su ojo.
