Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 21:22-27
-
"If men strive, and hurt a woman
with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet
no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and
he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any
mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for
burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of
his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for
his eye's sake. And if he smite out his manservant's
tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go
free for his tooth's sake."
-
Leviticus 24:19-20
-
"And if a man cause a blemish in
his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to
him; Breach for
breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as
he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done
to him again."
-
Deuteronomy 19:20-21
-
"And those which remain shall
hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any
such evil among you. And thine eye shall not pity; but
life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot."
-
Matthew 5:38-40
-
"Ye have heard that it hath been
said, An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say
unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also."
