17 (A)“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. 18 (B)Whoever takes an animal's life shall make it good, life for life. 19 If anyone injures his neighbor, (C)as he has done it shall be done to him, 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. 21 (D)Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, (E)and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. 22 You shall have the (F)same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.”

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.
