Leviticus 24:17-22
International Standard Version
17 “If a man beats a human being[a] to death,[b] he is certainly to be executed, 18 but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it—life for life. 19 If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also. 20 Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth—just as he had caused a disfigurement against another man, so it is to be done against him. 21 Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death[c] is to be put to death. 22 You are to have for yourselves consistent[d] procedures in deciding a case. As it is for the resident alien, so it is for the native born. I am the Lord your God.”
