Context — Personal Injury Laws
18If men are quarreling and one strikes the other with a stone or a fist, and he does not die but is confined to bed,
19then the one who struck him shall go unpunished, as long as the other can get up and walk around outside with his staff. Nevertheless, he must compensate the man for his lost work and see that he is completely healed.
20If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
21However, if the servant gets up after a day or two, the owner shall not be punished, since the servant is his property. 22If men who are fighting strike a pregnant woman and her child is born prematurely, but there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands and as the court allows.Cross References

Exodus 21:20 Summary
[This verse, Exodus 21:20, is saying that if someone hurts their servant really badly, even to the point of death, they will be punished for it. This shows that God cares about all people, no matter what their job is, and wants us to treat each other with kindness and respect, just like it says in Matthew 7:12 to treat others the way we want to be treated. It also reminds us that our actions have consequences and that we should always try to do what is right, as taught in Proverbs 21:3.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this verse seem to allow for the physical punishment of servants, doesn't that go against other teachings in the Bible?
While Exodus 21:20 does describe a situation where a master might strike a servant, it's essential to consider the context and other scriptures, such as Ephesians 6:9, which instructs masters to treat their servants with respect and kindness.
How does this verse relate to the value of human life in the eyes of God?
This verse emphasizes that if a servant dies as a result of being struck, the master will be punished, highlighting the importance of human life, as seen in Genesis 9:6, where it is written that whoever sheds human blood will be punished by God.
Does this verse imply that servants are not as valuable as other people?
No, this verse does not imply that servants are less valuable; rather, it acknowledges the reality of the social structure of the time while emphasizing the responsibility of those in power to treat others with respect and care, as taught in Matthew 25:40, where Jesus says that whatever we do to the least of His people, we do to Him.
How does the punishment in this verse reflect God's heart for justice?
The punishment described in Exodus 21:20 reflects God's desire for justice and accountability, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:4, which describes God as a rock of justice, and in Psalms 82:3-4, which instructs leaders to defend the weak and uphold justice for the poor and the orphan.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about God's perspective on the treatment of those in positions of powerlessness or vulnerability?
- How can I apply the principle of respecting and caring for others, regardless of their social status, in my own life and relationships?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of being mindful of my actions and their potential consequences for others?
- In what ways can I demonstrate God's heart of justice and compassion in my interactions with those around me?
Gill's Exposition on 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
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 21:20
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. If a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die ... [ basheebeT (H7626)] - with the rod.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 21:20
His servant, namely, a stranger; for an Israelite was to be better used. See ,40, &c. With a rod; a fit and usual instrument for correction, whereby it is implied, that if he killed him with a sword, or any such weapon, he was to die for it. Under his hand, i.e. whilst the master is correcting him. He shall be surely punished; not with death, for then it would have been said so, as it is before and after; but as the magistrate or judge shall think fit, according to the diversity of circumstances; and therefore no particular punishment is set down.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 21:20
Exodus 21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.Ver. 20. He shall be surely punished.] At the discretion of the magistrate, who is the "revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 21:20
(20) And if a man smite his servant.—The homicide hitherto considered has been that of freemen; but the Mosaic Law was not content to stop at this point. Unlike most other codes, it proceeded to forbid the homicide of slaves. Hitherto, throughout the East, and also in many parts of the West, slaves had been regarded as so absolutely their master’s property that he was entitled to do as he pleased with them. Now, for the first time—so far as we know—was the life of the slave protected. The exact extent of the protection is uncertain. According to the Talmud, the master who killed his slave was put to death; according to some modern Jews, as Kalisch, he had merely to pay a fine. In any case, the killing was an offence of which the law took cognisance. Later on it appears that even assaults on slaves, if they reached a certain intensity, were unlawful, and involved the slave’s compulsory emancipation (Exodus 21:26-27). With a rod.—The usual instrument of punishment. It would follow, as a matter of course, that if a more dangerous implement was used the master was punished with equal, or greater, severity.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 21:20
18–36. Bodily injuries, caused (a) by human beings, vv. 18–27; (b) by animals, or through the neglect of reasonable precautions, vv. 28–36.
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 21:20
The Jewish authorities appear to be right in referring this law, like those in Exodus 21:26-27, Exodus 21:32, to foreign slaves (see Leviticus 25:44-46).
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 21:20
20. Smite his servant — Many writers assume that foreign bondservants, not Hebrew servants, are intended here; but the law itself does not so discriminate.
