Leviticus 24:17-22
American Standard Version
17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. 21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death. 22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

Leviticus 24:17-22
Lexham English Bible
17 “‘And when a man kills any human being, he certainly shall be put to death. 18 And he who kills[a] a domestic animal must repay for it life in place of life. 19 And when a man causes[b] a physical defect in his fellow citizen according to[c] what he has done, so it shall be done to him: 20 fracture in place of fracture, eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth—according to[d] the physical defect he causes[e] to the person, likewise it shall be caused[f] to him. 21 And a killer of a domestic animal must repay for it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death. 22 You must have[g] one norm; as for the alien, so[h] it must be for the native, because I am Yahweh your God.’”
