Exodus 21:17-21

“And one who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death.

“Now if people have a quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,

if he gets up and walks around outside on his staff, then he who struck him shall go unpunished; he shall only pay for his loss of time, and shall pay for his care until he is completely healed.

“And if someone strikes his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies at his hand, he shall be punished.

If, however, the slave survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken; for the slave is his property.
