Exodus 21:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ “Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.

¹⁸ “Two men might argue. And one might hit the other with a rock or with his fist. The hurt man might not be killed. But he might have to stay in bed. ¹⁹ Later he might be able to get up. And he might be able to walk around outside with his walking stick. Then the one who hit him is not to be punished. But he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time. And he must support the injured man until he is completely healed.
