²¹ Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

¹³ Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

²³ But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,

²⁴ Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵ Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow.

¹⁷ And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

¹⁸ And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

¹⁹ And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

²⁰ Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.

²¹ He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

³⁸ You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

³⁹ But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.
