“Jewish” beliefs are not monolithic any more than Christian beliefs are.
Also, it is unfortunate that the majority of religious Jews elevate commentaries above the actual scriptures, because the actual scriptures say that is an unborn baby is harmed in an act of violence, justice is eye for eye, tooth for tooth, and life for life.
Exodus 21:22-25
If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
You mean actual Scriptures should be read without vowels or punctuation? Because that's what the actual Scriptures are. Vowels and punctuation come from the Oral Torah.
because the actual scriptures say that is an unborn baby is harmed in an act of violence, justice is eye for eye, tooth for tooth, and life for life.
First of all, don't you believe all that "old testament law" has been "done away with?" And secondly, the Oral Torah (which gives us the vowels and punctuation) tells us that this means the one who suffers loss is compensated monetarily. Jews have never hacked pieces off each other.
Sorry; no Thomas Nelson bibles were available until quite recently.
