New Testament

Leviticus 24:17-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. If anyone kills another person, they must be executed.

18. Someone who kills an animal may make amends for it: a life for a life.

19. If someone injures a fellow citizen, they will suffer the same injury they inflicted:

20. broken bone for broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The same injury the person inflicted on the other will be inflicted on them.

21. Someone who kills an animal must make amends for it, but whoever kills a human being must be executed.
