DEUTERONOMY 19:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.”
Show no pity: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot — the repeated lex talionis formula (nefesh tachat nefesh) applies proportional justice, limiting revenge to the injury inflicted; the law prevents escalation while ensuring adequate accountability.
