Daudzi kristieši uzskata, ka dzīvība sākas pēc olšūnas apaugļošanas, bet bībelē rakstīts kaut kas cits:
The total number of Levites counted at the LORD’s command by Moses and Aaron according to their clans, including every male a month old or more, was 22,000. The LORD said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more and make a list of their names.
Skaitot cilvēkus tika skaitīti tikai tie, kas ir vismaz 1 mēnesi veci.
“If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Ja vīrietis sit sievieti, kura ir stāvoklī un tā rezultātā viņai nav traumu, bet tiek zaudēts bērns, jāmaksā sods, ko izlemj sievietes vīrs, bet, ja sievietei ir izdarīts nopietns kaitējums, tad sods ir aci pret aci, zobu pret zobu, utt..
If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.
Ja sieviete ir krāpusi vīru, veikt abortu ir normāli. Priesteris dod viņai dzer maģisku dzērienu (visdrīzāk kaut kādu indi), ja viņa nav krāpusi vīru, tad nekas nenotiks, bet, ja ir, tad viņa zaudēs bērnu. Atgādina raganu medības - nevainīgās nenoslīkst (ar akmeni piesietu pie kājas).
