Leviticus 24:17-22

Common English Bible

¹⁷ If anyone kills another person, they must be executed. ¹⁸ Someone who kills an animal may make amends for it: a life for a life. ¹⁹ If someone injures a fellow citizen, they will suffer the same injury they inflicted: ²⁰ broken bone for broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The same injury the person inflicted on the other will be inflicted on them. ²¹ Someone who kills an animal must make amends for it, but whoever kills a human being must be executed. ²² There is but one law on this matter for you, immigrant or citizen alike, because I am the Lord your God.
