And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. (Exodus 21:20 KJV) Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. (Exodus 21:21 KJV) If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. (Exodus 21:22 KJV) And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, (Exodus 21:23 KJV) Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, (Exodus 21:24 KJV) The abortion industry relies heavily on what seems (or has been interpretted) as ambiguity in this passage, suggesting "that if any harm follows" applies to the woman, not the child she is carrying. Throughout Torah thus far, the life that is carried in the womb is considered a human child (Genesis 25:22). The phrase "fruit depart" is only ambiguous in the English translations. The Hebrew clearly declares that the result is premature birth, not miscarriage. The Hebrew term for miscarriage "shaw-loke" was not used in this text. The following "mischief" applies to either the mother or the child. If the child is stillborn or dies as a result of the injury, the offending party is guilty of murder. |
