Exodus 21:17 in Context — Exodus 21

15 Celui qui frappera son père ou sa mère sera puni de mort.

16 Celui qui dérobera un homme, et qui l’aura vendu ou retenu entre ses mains, sera puni de mort.

17 Celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère sera puni de mort.

18 Si des hommes se querellent, et que l’un d’eux frappe l’autre avec une pierre ou avec le poing, sans causer sa mort, mais en l’obligeant à garder le lit,

19 celui qui aura frappé ne sera point puni, dans le cas où l’autre viendrait à se lever et à se promener dehors avec son bâton. Seulement, il le dédommagera de son interruption de travail, et il le fera soigner jusqu’à sa guérison.
