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.’”

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 resident alien and the native, because I am the Lord your God.”
