16And hee that blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the Congregation shall certainely stone him: Aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the land, when he blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, shall be put to death. 17¶ And he that killeth any man, shall surely be put to death. 18And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good; beast for beast. 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shal it be done to him: 20Breach, for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him againe.
