An Eye for an Eye

17 (A)If a man strikes down the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death. 18 (B)And the one who strikes down the life of an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life. 19 If a man [a]injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: 20 (C)fracture for fracture, (D)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has [b]injured a man, so it shall be [c]inflicted on him. 21 Thus the one who strikes down an animal shall make restitution for it, but (E)the one who strikes down a man shall be put to death. 22 There shall be (F)one standard of judgment for you; it shall be for the sojourner as well as the native, for I am Yahweh your God.’”
