Laws of Retribution and Justice
Leviticus 24:17-23
17
And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
18
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
19
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
20
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
21
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
22
You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
