Leviticus 24:17-22
New Living Translation
17 “Anyone who takes another person’s life must be put to death.
18 “Anyone who kills another person’s animal must pay for it in full—a live animal for the animal that was killed.
19 “Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted— 20 a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.
21 “Whoever kills an animal must pay for it in full, but whoever kills another person must be put to death.
22 “This same standard applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God.”

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.’”
