출애굽기 21:26-28 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 21:22-36

Observe here, I. The particular care which the law took of women with child, that no hurt should be done them which might occasion their mis-carrying. The law of nature obliges us to be very tender in that case, lest the tree and fruit be destroyed together, Exod. 21:22, 23. Women with child, who are thus taken under the special protection of the law of God, if they live in his fear, may still believe themselves under the special protection of the providence of God, and hope that they shall be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:26

If a man smite the eye of his servant ,.... Give him a blow on the eye in a passion, as a correction for some fault he has committed: or the eye of his maid, that it perish ; strike her on that part in like manner, so that the eye is beaten or drops out, or however loses its sight, and " is blinded", as the Septuagint version; or "corrupts" it F11 שחתה "et corruperit eum", Pagninus, Montanus, Drusius; so Ainsworth. , it turns black and blue, and gathers corrupt matter, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:27

And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth ,.... Give them such a slap on the face, or a blow on the mouth, as to strike out one of their teeth; this also the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi restrain to a Canaanitish servant or maid: he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake ; both him and her, the servant and the maid; this, though of lesser consequence than the loss of an eye, was punished in the same manner with the loss of the servant man or maid, to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:28

If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die ,.... That are Israelites, of whom only Aben Ezra interprets it; but though they may be principally designed, yet not solely; for no doubt if one of another nation was gored to death by the ox of an Israelite, the same penalty would be inflicted, as follows: then the ox shall be surely stoned ; which is but an exemplification of the original law given to Noah and his sons, Genesis 9:5 , "at the hand of every beast will I require it"; i.e.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:27

If he smite out his - tooth - It was a noble law that obliged the unmerciful slaveholder to set the slave at liberty whose eye or tooth he had knocked out. If this did not teach them humanity, it taught them caution, as one rash blow might have deprived them of all right to the future services of the slave; and thus self-interest obliged them to be cautious and circumspect. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:28

If an ox gore a man - It is more likely that a bull is here intended, as the word signifies both, see Exodus 22:1 ; and the Septuagint translate the שור shor of the original by ταυρος , a bull. Mischief of this kind was provided against by most nations. It appears that the Romans twisted hay about the horns of their dangerous cattle, that people seeing it might shun them; hence that saying of Horace. Sat., lib. i., sat. 4, ver. 34: Faenum habet in cornu, longe fuge . "He has hay on... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:26

Verse 26 26.And if a man smite the eye. Since, in the sight of God, there is neither slave nor free-man, it is clear that he sins as greatly who smites a slave, as if he had struck a free-man. Still, a distinction is made as regards the civil law and human justice, especially if any one have inflicted a wound on his own slave. For here a tooth for a tooth, or an eye for an eye, is not required, but the superiority, which he has improperly abused, is taken from the master; and in compensation... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 21:28

Verse 28 28.If an ox gore a man. Moses now descends even to the brute animals, so that, if they injured any one, by their punishment men may be more and more deterred from shedding blood. If, therefore, a goring ox have killed a man, he commands that it should be stoned, and that its carcass should be thrown away as abominable. Though censorious persons mock at this law, as if it were childish to punish a wretched animal, in which there is no criminality, their insolence requires but a brief... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 21:2-35

The slave laws. Slave laws belong to all communities, and not to some only, slavery being really a universal and not a partial institution. In the most civilised communities of modern Europe, there are two large classes of slaves—lunatics and criminals. The law openly condemns these last to penal servitude, which may be for life; and this "servitude," as Lord Chief Justice Coleridge has repeatedly pointed out, is simply a form of slavery. Ancient communities differed from modern— 1 .... read more
