Leviticus 24:17-23

An Eye for an Eye

17 aWhoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. 18 bWhoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. 19If anyone injures his neighbor, cas he has done it shall be done to him, 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. 21 dWhoever kills an animal shall make it good, eand whoever kills a person shall be put to death. 22You shall have the fsame rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” 23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and gthey brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
