Leviticus 24:17-22

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.’”

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.’”
