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
This law, known as 'lex talionis' (law of retaliation), was given to ancient Israel as part of their civil justice system. It was actually designed to limit revenge by ensuring punishments were proportional rather than excessive. In ancient times, this principle helped prevent blood feuds where families would escalate violence beyond the original offense.
