📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Near East, laws like this were given to the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai as part of the Mosaic Law, which formed the foundation of their covenant with God. This principle of equivalent retribution, often called "an eye for an eye," aimed to prevent excessive vengeance and ensure that punishments were proportional to the offenses in a society recently freed from Egyptian slavery. It reflected God's desire for justice and order among His people in a world where retaliation could easily spiral out of control.
