(Exodus 21:14) "And if a man be deliberate against his neighbor to kill him, etc.": What is the intent of this section? From (Leviticus 24:17) "And a man if he strike any soul of man shall be put to death," I might think, even if he kills others (i.e., gentiles), or if he were a deaf-mute or an imbecile who killed (another), or if he were a doctor (who killed while) engaged in his profession, of (if he killed while) administering stripes by authority of beth-din, or (if he killed while) chastising his son or his disciple. It is, therefore, written "And if a man be deliberate"—to exclude one who kills unwittingly; "a man"—to exclude a minor (who killed); "a man"—to include others (i.e., gentiles who killed); "his neighbor"—to include (his killing) a minor; "his neighbor"—to exclude (his killing) others.
