Exodus 51 part1 - Exod. 21:22 - FETUS IS HUMAN

Where does it say exactly in the Bible that the unborn are human?  Where does it say precisely that the fetus is human, a person?  Certainly there are verses that imply this to be true.  I use them myself when arguing the case against abortion.  But, I came across this verse, Exodus 21:22, and from the Hebrew and Hebrew grammar we will see that the Bible is clear, the Bible is precise, it is not implying anything but stating fact and that is 

THE FETUS IS HUMAN

This verse is not about abortion but it relates to abortion.  It helps us see that according to God's law the fetus has legal standing in the same was as the mother.  

I indicated in this podcast about several links I'd provide that will only enhance your study.  Here they are ...

This link is from a superb website called "Stand To Reason."  It goes into the Hebrew of Exod. 21:22 and supports the view that the fetus in the womb is a human being.

From "HumanJourney.org" we study an excellent article that addresses the mistranslation of the Septuagint as related to this verse that has mislead many to say the Bible says the fetus is not fully human.  Remember, the Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint is found with many mistranslations.

The last link if from "GotQuestions.org" and again shows this verse is uniquely special in the entire Bible including the New Testament.  All three of these articles plus the podcast itself provide an awesome argument according to God's own law that the treatment of the fetus is subject to God's legal statements.
