SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:22
¶ 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.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:22
Verse 22. And hurt a woman with child] As a posterity among the Jews was among the peculiar promises of their covenant, and as every man had some reason to think that the Messiah should spring from his family, therefore any injury done to a woman with child, by which the fruit of her womb might be destroyed, was considered a very heavy offense; and as the crime was committed principally against the husband, the degree of punishment was left to his discretion. But if mischief followed, that is, if the child had been fully formed, and was killed by this means, or the woman lost her life in consequence, then the punishment was as in other cases of murder-the person was put to death; ver. 23.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-36 - The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we mus be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us __________________________________________________________________
