Musar untuk Imamat 19:20

וְ֠אִישׁ כִּֽי־יִשְׁכַּ֨ב אֶת־אִשָּׁ֜ה שִׁכְבַת־זֶ֗רַע וְהִ֤וא שִׁפְחָה֙ נֶחֱרֶ֣פֶת לְאִ֔ישׁ וְהָפְדֵּה֙ לֹ֣א נִפְדָּ֔תָה א֥וֹ חֻפְשָׁ֖ה לֹ֣א נִתַּן־לָ֑הּ בִּקֹּ֧רֶת תִּהְיֶ֛ה לֹ֥א יוּמְת֖וּ כִּי־לֹ֥א חֻפָּֽשָׁה׃

Apabila seorang laki-laki bersetubuh dengan seorang perempuan hingga mengeluarkan benih, sedangkan perempuan itu seorang budak yang telah diperuntukkan bagi seorang laki-laki, dan ia belum sepenuhnya ditebus atau kemerdekaan belum diberikan kepadanya, perkara itu harus diperiksa. Mereka tidak akan dihukum mati, sebab perempuan itu belum merdeka.

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

Rekanati comments about this in the following words: "We know that halachically our sages understand the עין תחת עין as a demand to pay appropriate financial compensation for the organ impaired or destroyed. The same principle applies to the verse Leviticus 24,19, ואיש כי יתן מום בעמיתו, where we also find that monetary compensation is called for. The words באדם כן ינתן בו (Leviticus 19,20), mean that something that is usually passed from hand to hand is to be the means of compensation."
