Leviticus 24:17-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 “If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death.(A) 18 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life. 19 If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him.(B) 21 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death.(C) 22 You are to have the same law for the foreign resident and the native, because I am Yahweh 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.’”
