An Eye for an Eye

Leviticus 24

17 `And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death. 18 `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body. 19 `And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him; 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him. 21 `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death; 22 one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.' 23 And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
