Exodus 21:20 in Context — Exodus 21
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.
20 Si un homme frappe du bâton son esclave, homme ou femme, et que l’esclave meure sous sa main, le maître sera puni.
21 Mais s’il survit un jour ou deux, le maître ne sera point puni; car c’est son argent.
22 Si des hommes se querellent, et qu’ils heurtent une femme enceinte, et la fassent accoucher, sans autre accident, ils seront punis d’une amende imposée par le mari de la femme, et qu’ils paieront devant les juges.
