Leviticus 24:19

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.’ ”
