Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 21:20 In-Context

18 Además, si algunos riñeren, y alguno hiriere a su prójimo con piedra o con el puño, y no muriere, pero cayere en cama;
19 si se levantare y anduviere fuera sobre su bordón, entonces será el que le hirió absuelto; solamente le satisfará lo que estuvo parado, y hará que le curen.
20 Y si alguno hiriere a su siervo o a su sierva con palo, y muriere bajo su mano, será castigado;
21 mas si durare por un día o dos, no será castigado, porque su dinero es.
22 Si algunos riñeren, e hiriesen a alguna mujer embarazada, y ésta abortare, pero sin haber muerte, será penado conforme a lo que le impusiere el marido de la mujer y pagará por jueces.
