Exodus21:23
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Either to the mother or to the child, whether it be death, or any maime or mischief.
Who? Ans. Not the private person, which would have introduced infinite mischiefs and confusions, but the Magistrate: for these laws are given to Moses, and the execution of these things was committed to Moses, and others under him.
