Was the prescription, "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, fracture for fracture, foot for foot," (Lev 24:19,20) only to be used during the wilderness wandering?

Jesus said something different during His "Sermon on the Mount" of Matt 5-7.
And God didn't want Cain killed for murdering his brother, Abel in Genesis 4.
David and Joab conspired and killed Uriah the Hittite and weren't put to death. Was that edict only for Israel during the wilderness years?
