Leviticus 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:19

And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour
Does him any hurt or mischief, causes any mutilation or deformity in him by striking him: as he hath done, so shall it be done unto him:
not that a like damage or hurt should be done to him, but that he should make satisfaction for it in a pecuniary way; pay for the cure of him, and for loss of time, and in consideration of the pain he has endured, and the shame or disgrace brought on him by the deformity or mutilation, or for whatever loss he may sustain thereby; (See Gill on Exodus 21:18) and (See Gill on Exodus 21:19).

Leviticus 24:19 In-Context

17 He that smiteth and slayeth a man, die he by death; (He who striketh and killeth a man, shall be put to death;)

18 he that smiteth a beast, yield one in his stead, that is, life for life.

19 If a man giveth a wem to any of his citizens (If a man giveth a wound, or an injury, to any of his fellow citizens), as he did, so be it done to him;

20 he shall restore breaking for breaking, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; what manner wem he gave, he shall be compelled to suffer such a wem (what manner wound, or injury, he gave, he shall be compelled to suffer such a wound, or injury).

21 He that smiteth a work beast, yield he another; he that smiteth a man, shall die. (He who striketh down a work beast, give he another in its place; he who striketh down a man, shall be put to death.)
