Exodus 21:22-27

But if any harm follows, then you are to give life for life,
24
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25
burn for burn, wound for wound and bruise for bruise.
26
"If a person hits his male or female slave's eye and destroys it, he must let him go free in compensation for his eye.
27
If he knocks out his male or female slave's tooth, he must let him go free in compensation for his tooth.
