Jeźliby też kto ząb niewolnikowi swemu, albo ząb niewolnicy swojej wybił, wolno go puści za ząb jego.
Także gdyby wybił słudze abo służebnicy ząb, tedy go za on ząb wolno puścić powinien.
Także jeśli wybije ząb swojego niewolnika, albo ząb swojej służebnicy to za ząb wypuści go na wolność.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth,.... Give them such a slap on the face, or a blow on the mouth, as to strike out one of their teeth; this also the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi restrain to a Canaanitish servant or maid;
he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake; both him and her, the servant and the maid; this, though of lesser consequence than the loss of an eye, was punished in the same manner with the loss of the servant man or maid, to make masters careful how they abused their servants in any degree. And though only these parts are expressed, yet Jarchi and Aben Ezra observe, that all other principal members of the body, which they reckon to be twenty four, are included, as the fingers, toes, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Freedom was the proper equivalent for permanent injury.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 21:27. If he smite out his - tooth — It was a noble law that obliged the unmerciful slaveholder to set the slave at liberty whose eye or tooth he had knocked out. If this did not teach them humanity, it taught them caution, as one rash blow might have deprived them of all right to the future services of the slave; and thus self-interest obliged them to be cautious and circumspect.
