According to the documentary hypothesis, one of the sources for the first five books of The Bible (the 'Pentateuch') is named the "Elohist source", because he referred to God as El or as Elohim.. Rather than the Ten Commandments provided by the Jahwist source, the Elohist text contains a "law code" (at Exodus 21:2 - 23:33), which is believed to have been an originally separate document, known as the "Covenant Code".

Exodus 21 is part of that law code, a set of cammandments for the people of Israel. The most famous commandment in Exodus 21 is at verses 22-23, which say that men who cause a woman to miscarry are guilty of a civil offence, at the discretion of her husband.
