Very good. I've heard of this verse but have not been able to find it. 2 things I look at here are "prematurely" and "no serious injury".
Using Biblesoft and looking in the Interlinear the words "from her" do not exist but were added. No big deal. But the other words around it offer no explanation either.
"No serious injury"? To who? The woman or the premature baby?
In context I think it is the woman not the premature baby the Scriptures are talking about.
Exod 21:19 the one who struck the blow will not be held responsible if the other gets up and walks around outside with his staff; however, he must pay the injured man for the loss of his time and see that he is completely healed". Exod 21:20 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished,(NIV)
Exod 21:21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
Context wise (v 22)this passage of Scripture is talking about the woman being injured not the baby. (Premature child).
What changed my mind about this abortion issue was partial birth abortions. That I see as evil. But where Scriptually does God consider a baby a "living being"?. I don't know. I do not deal with this issue on an emotional basis but strictly upon a Scriptural basis. And here it seems God has left us to figure it out on our own. But, I hope I'm wrong here.
