17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death;

18 and he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.
