Leviticus 24:17-22

17“ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.

18Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life.

19Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner:

20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.

21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.

22You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
