ગુજરાતીલેવી ૨૪:૨૦
ભાંગવાને બદલે ભાંગવું, આંખને બદલે આંખ, દાંત બદલે દાંત. જેવી ઈજા તેણે કોઈ વ્યક્તિને કરી હોય તેવી જ ઈજા તેને કરવી.
हिन्दीलैव्यव्यवस्था २४:२०
अर्थात् अंग-भंग करने के बदले अंग-भंग किया जाए, आँख के बदले आँख, दाँत के बदले दाँत, जैसी चोट जिसने किसी को पहुँचाई हो वैसी ही उसको भी पहुँचाई जाए। (मत्ती 5:38)

In context

18He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.

19If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:

20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.

21He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

22You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
