New Testament

Exodus 21:23-30 Good News Bible (GNB)

23. But if the woman herself is injured, the punishment shall be life for life,

24. eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25. burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

26. “If someone hits his male or female slave in the eye and puts it out, he is to free the slave as payment for the eye.

27. If he knocks out a tooth, he is to free the slave as payment for the tooth.

28. “If a bull gores someone to death, it is to be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but its owner is not to be punished.

29. But if the bull had been in the habit of attacking people and its owner had been warned, but did not keep it penned up — then if it gores someone to death, it is to be stoned, and its owner is to be put to death also.

30. However, if the owner is allowed to pay a fine to save his life, he must pay the full amount required.
