17 a‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.
18 aWhoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.
19 ‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as ahe has done, so shall it be done to him—
20 fracture for afracture, beye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him.
21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death.
22 You shall have athe same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”
