Exodus 21:12-17
New American Standard Bible
Personal Injuries
12 “(A)He who strikes someone so that he dies shall certainly be put to death. 13 (B)Yet [a]if he did not lie in wait for him, but (C)God caused him to fall into his hand, then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee. 14 (D)If, however, someone is enraged against his neighbor, so as to kill him in a cunning way, you are to take him even from My altar, to be put to death.
15 “And one who strikes his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death.
16 “Now (E)one who [b]kidnaps someone, whether he sells him or he is found in his [c]possession, shall certainly be put to death.
17 “And (F)one who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death.
