Exodus 21:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ And anyone who curses either of his parents must be put to death.^[a]

¹⁸ If people are engaged in an argument and one hits the other with a rock or his fist, and the victim does not die but is bedridden for a time and unable to work, ¹⁹ then the one who struck him will not be punished as long as the injured party recovers enough to be able to get out of bed and walk around with the help of his staff; however, he must pay his victim for lost time and wages, and make sure he has the care he needs until he recovers.
