“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.”
You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God. The equal application of the law across the foreigner and the native-born — the same law for both — is the judicial expression of the covenant's equal-access principle. I am the Lord your God grounds the equal law in the covenant identity: the Lord who is the God of the entire covenant community is the Lord of equal justice for every person within the community. The law's universality reflects the God's universality.
