Leviticus 24:17-20

New American Standard Bible

An Eye for an Eye

¹⁷ ‘Now ^(A)if someone ^[a]takes any human life, he must be put to death. ¹⁸ But ^(B)the one who ^[b]takes the life of an animal shall make restitution, life for life. ¹⁹ If someone injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him: ^20 (C)fracture for fracture, ^(D)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a person, so shall it be ^[c]inflicted on him.
