Leviticus 24:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:20

Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Which is not to be taken strictly or literally, but for the price or value of those, which is to be given in a pecuniary way; (See Gill on Exodus 21:24), (See Gill on Exodus 21:25);

as he hath caused a blemish in a man, shall it be done to him;
unless he gives satisfaction, and pays a valuable consideration for it.

Leviticus 24:20 In-Context

18 Anyone who kills someone's animal must make it good - a life for a life.

19 Anyone who injures his neighbor will get back the same as he gave:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. What he did to hurt that person will be done to him.

21 Anyone who hits and kills an animal must make it good, but whoever hits and kills a fellow human will be put to death.

22 And no double standards: the same rule goes for foreigners and natives. I am God, your God."
