Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie,
La justicia debe ser proporcional al daño causado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Israelite society, this verse was part of the Mosaic Law given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, as outlined in the Book of Exodus, to establish a code of justice for the newly freed nation. It aimed to curb excessive retaliation in a culture where personal vendettas could spiral out of control, ensuring that punishments were proportionate to the crimes committed. This principle helped maintain social order among the Israelites, differing from the often harsher customs of neighboring ancient Near Eastern societies.
