Laws of Retribution and Justice
Leviticus 24:17-23
17
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19
If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
20
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.
21
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
