King James Version
"And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,"
— Exodus 21:23, King James Version
“But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life, ”
“But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,”
“But if there is serious injury, then you will give a life for a life,”
“But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life,”
“But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,”
“And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,”
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
