תלמוד על סנהדרין 11:2

Jerusalem Talmud Bava Kamma

MISHNAH: This is more severe regarding a human than an ox since a human pays damages37And the other four categories of payments mentioned in Mishnah 1. These are enumerated by the Mishnah in the Babli and most independent Mishnah mss. and pays for unborn children38Ex. 21:22 prescribes that an attack on a woman which leads to a miscarriage but does not endanger the woman’s life entitles the woman’s husband to go to court and exact payment for the loss of prospective children., but the ox pays only damages and does not pay for unborn children.
A person who hits his father or mother without causing a concussion39Ex. 21:15 declares hitting father or mother to be a capital crime. Hitting one of the parents without causing visible damage is a sin but not a crime. Therefore there is no obstacle to pressing monetary claims. Cf. Mishnah 7. or who causes injury on the Day of Atonement40Desecrating the Day of Atonement is a deadly sin but not a prosecutable crime; it is outside the purview of the human court. Injuring somebody on the Sabbath is a capital crime. Cf. Mishnah 7. is liable for everything. He who injures a Hebrew slave41Hebrew slavery was an institution permanently abolished, never resurrected in the Second Commonwealt; cf. Qiddušin 1:2, Note 150. The argument is purely theoretical. is liable for everything except for lost earnings if he is his own. He who injures another person’s Canaanite slave42Any Gentile slave becoming potentially Jewish by circumcision and immersion in a miqweh; cf. Qiddušin 1:3, Note 328. A person severely injuring his own slave has to set him free (Ex. 21:26–27). is liable for everything. Rebbi Jehudah says, slaves have no claim for embarrassment.
