17 “Anyone who commits murder shall be put to death,
18 and anyone who kills an animal belonging to someone else must replace it. The principle is a life for a life.
19 “If anyone injures another person, whatever he has done shall be done to him.
20 If he breaks a bone, one of his bones shall be broken; if he blinds him in one eye, one of his eyes shall be blinded; if he knocks out a tooth, one of his teeth shall be knocked out. Whatever injury he causes another person shall be done to him in return.
21 Whoever kills an animal shall replace it, but whoever kills a human being shall be put to death.
22 This law applies to all of you, to Israelites and to foreigners living among you, because I am the Lord your God.”
23 When Moses had said this to the people of Israel, they took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death. In this way the people of Israel did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
