Leviticus 24:17-22

The Voice

¹⁷ Anyone who kills another person must be put to death. ¹⁸ Anyone who kills an animal is to compensate his owner for it, life for life. ¹⁹ Anyone who injures his neighbor must have done to him what he did to the other. ²⁰ If he breaks a man’s bone, his own bone must be broken. If he puts out a man’s eye, his own eye must be put out. If he knocks out a man’s tooth, his own tooth must be knocked out.^[a] Whatever a person does to harm another must be done to him in return. ²¹ Any person who takes the life of an animal is to compensate his owner for it, but any person who takes the life of another human being must be put to death. ²² This law applies to everyone equally, both native-born Israelites and outsiders. I am the Eternal One, your God.
