Êxodo 21:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 21:20

And if a man smite his servant or his maid with a rod
A Canaanitish servant or maid, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi; and that only with a rod for the correction of them, and not with a sword or any such destroying weapon, which would seem as though he intended to kill, yet nevertheless:

and he die under his hand;
immediately, while he is smiting or beating him or her, on the same day, as the above Targum interprets it:

he shall be surely punished;
or condemned to the punishment of being slain with the sword, as the said Targum and Jarchi explain it: this law was made to deter masters from using severity and cruelty towards their servants.

Êxodo 21:20 In-Context

18 Se dois homens brigarem e um ferir ao outro com pedra ou com o punho, e este não morrer, mas cair na cama,
19 se ele tornar a levantar-se e andar fora sobre o seu bordão, então aquele que o feriu será absolvido; somente lhe pagará o tempo perdido e fará que ele seja completamente curado.
20 Se alguém ferir a seu servo ou a sua serva com pau, e este morrer debaixo da sua mão, certamente será castigado;
21 mas se sobreviver um ou dois dias, não será castigado; porque é dinheiro seu.
22 Se alguns homens brigarem, e um ferir uma mulher grávida, e for causa de que aborte, não resultando, porém, outro dano, este certamente será multado, conforme o que lhe impuser o marido da mulher, e pagará segundo o arbítrio dos juízes;
