Exodus 21:22-27

²²If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.

²³But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life —

²⁴eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.

²⁶If a man strikes and blinds the eye of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.

²⁷And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or maidservant, he must let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.
