Context of Leviticus 24:19
17If any man kills another man you must kill him. 18A man might kill an animal that belongs to another man. Then he must give an animal that is alive to the man. You must give a living animal if you take a living animal's life. If a man hurts another person, you must punish him as he deserves. Hurt him in the same way that he has hurt the other person. 20If he has broken one of the person's bones, break one of his bones. If he hurt the person's eye, hurt his eye. If he has broken a person's tooth, break his tooth. 21A man might hit an animal so that it dies. That man must give back an animal that is alive. But if he kills a man, you must punish him with death.
