Leviticus 24:17-22

17‘1IfH3588 a manH376 2takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of anyH3605 humanH120 beingH5315, he shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191.

18 3The one who 4takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of an animalH929 shall makeH7999 it goodH7999, lifeH5315 for lifeH5315.

19IfH3588 a manH376 5injuresH5414 H4140 his neighborH5997, justH3512 as he has doneH6213, soH3651 it shall be doneH6213 to him:

20 6fractureH7667 for fractureH7667, 7eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127; justH3512 as he has 8injuredH5414 H4140 a manH120, soH3651 it shall be 9inflictedH5414 on him.

21Thus the one who 10killsH5221 an animalH929 shall makeH7999 it goodH7999, but 11the one who 12killsH5221 a manH120 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191.

22There shall be 13oneH259 14standardH4941 for you; it shall be for the strangerH1616 as well as the nativeH249, for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
