Leviticus 24:19

The Scriptures 1998

‘And when a man inflicts a blemish upon his neighbour, as he has done so it is done to him:

See the chapter Copy

“For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you.

“You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’

“And let your eye not pardon, life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

“But if there is injury, then you shall give life for life,

‘And he who smites a beast repays it, body for body.

‘Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he inflicts a blemish upon him, so it is done to him.

And Aḏ

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

burn for burn, wound for wound, lash for lash.
