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.
Si alguien hiere a otra persona, debe recibir la misma herida a cambio: ojo por ojo, diente por diente. Cualquier daño que haya causado a otra persona debe hacérsele de la misma manera.
La justicia requiere que el castigo sea proporcional al daño causado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, God gave Moses a series of laws on Mount Sinai to establish justice and order among the people, as they were forming a new nation after leaving Egypt. This specific verse in Leviticus 24:20 is part of instructions for dealing with intentional injuries, promoting a system of equivalent retribution to prevent cycles of escalating violence and ensure fairness. It reflected the cultural norms of the ancient Near East, where such laws helped curb personal vendettas and maintain social stability.
