Éxodo 21:21

Listen to Éxodo 21:21
21 Pero si en uno o dos días el esclavo se recupera, el amo no recibirá ningún castigo porque el esclavo es su propiedad.

Éxodo 21:21 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 21:21

Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two
And does not die immediately, or the same day, but lives twenty four hours, as the Jewish writers interpret it; so Abendana F24 explains the phrase, "a day or two";

``a day which is as two days, and they are twenty four hours from time to time,''

that is, from the time he was smitten to the time of his continuance; and so it is elsewhere explained F25 by a day we understand a day, which is like two days, that is, from time to time, the meaning of which is, from a certain time in one day to the same in another:

he shall not be punished;
that is, with death;

for he [is] his money;
is bought with his money, and is good as money, and therefore it is a loss sufficient to him to lose him; and it may be reasonably thought he did not smite his servant with an intention to kill him, since he himself is the loser by it.

Éxodo 21:21 In-Context

19 Si después puede levantarse y salir caminando de la casa, aunque fuera con muletas, entonces no se castigará al agresor, pero estará obligado a compensar a su víctima por el trabajo perdido y a pagar por su recuperación.
20 »Si un hombre golpea a su esclavo o a su esclava con un palo y debido a ello el esclavo muere, el amo tendrá que ser castigado.
21 Pero si en uno o dos días el esclavo se recupera, el amo no recibirá ningún castigo porque el esclavo es su propiedad.
22 »Supongamos que dos hombres pelean y, durante la lucha, golpean accidentalmente a una mujer embarazada y ella da a luz antes de término.
Si ella no sufrió más heridas, el hombre que golpeó a la mujer estará obligado a pagar la compensación que el esposo de la mujer exija y que los jueces aprueben.
23 Pero si hay más lesiones, el castigo debe ser acorde a la gravedad del daño: vida por vida,
