Exodus 21:23

Bible in Basic English 1965

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Further, no price may be given for the life of one who has taken life and whose right reward is death: he is certainly to be put to death.

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