17 (A)He also that [a]killeth any man, he shall be put to death.

18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, [b]beast for beast.

19 Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbor: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:

20 (B)Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shall be repaid to him.

21 And he that killeth a beast, shall restore it: but he that killeth a man, shall be slain.

22 Ye shall have one (C)law: it shall be as well for the stranger as for one born in the country, for I am the Lord your God.
