Leviticus 24:17-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ “If anyone hits someone and kills him, he must certainly be put to death. ¹⁸ But one who strikes and kills an animal must make restitution for it, a life for a life. ¹⁹ If anyone injures his fellow citizen, he shall have the same thing done to him as he has done: ²⁰ fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he injured that other person, the same is to be done to him. ²¹ One who strikes an animal so that it dies shall make restitution for it, but one who strikes a human being and kills him shall be put to death. ²² You shall have the same standard of justice for the alien who lives with you and for the citizen, for I am the Lord your God.”
