Ok, I know KJV make you think that's what it said, but this is better translation of CEV similar meaning of KJV Ex.21:20-22 " Death is the punishment for beating to death of your slaves. However, if the slave lives a few days after the beating, you are not to be punished. After all, you have ALREADY LOST THE SERVICES OF THAT SLAVE who WAS your property.(what God meant is, if he killed his slave will be death sentence, but if he lives, but hurt him, he will lose it) Suppose a pregnant woman suffers a miscarriage as the result of an INJURY CAUSED BY SOMEONE WHO IS FIGHTING. If she isn't badly hurt, the one who injured her MUST PAY WHATEVER FINE HER HUSBAND DEMANDS AND THE JUDGE APPROVE. Continue to 23 " but if she is seriously injured, payment will be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, cut for cut, and bruise for bruise." Now you get it, that is not inhumane. What's inhumane is just like sold black by beating them and stuff, this is not what God told Moses, God never intend to allow by beating, or hurting the innoncent.
