20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.

21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.

22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
