Leviticus 24:17-21

17 “‘If anyone takes the life of a human being, he must be put to death.

18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life.

19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured.

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