17 Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death. 18 Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life. 19 Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer. 21 Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
