Exodus 21
10 If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.
11 If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.
12 Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.
13 If, however, he did not lie in wait, but God allowed it to happen, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.
14 But if a man schemes and acts willfully against his neighbor to kill him, you must take him away from My altar to be put to death.
