17‘Now 1ifH3588 someoneH376 2takesH5221 anyH3605 humanH120 lifeH5315, he mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.
18But 3the one who 4takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of an animalH929 shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999, lifeH5315 for lifeH5315.
19IfH3588 someoneH376 injuresH5414H4140 his neighborH5997, justH3512 asH3512 he has doneH6213, soH3651 shall it be doneH6213 to him:
205fractureH7667 for fractureH7667, 6eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127; justH3512 asH3512 he has injuredH5414H4140 a personH120, soH3651 shall it be 7inflictedH5414 on him.
21So the one who 8killsH5221 an animalH929 shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999, but 9the one who 10killsH5221 a personH120 shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.
22There shall be only 11oneH259 12standardH4941 for you; it shall be for the strangerH1616 as well as the nativeH249, for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
