Exodus 21:24 in Context — Exodus 21

22 Si des hommes se querellent, et qu’ils heurtent une femme enceinte, et la fassent accoucher, sans autre accident, ils seront punis d’une amende imposée par le mari de la femme, et qu’ils paieront devant les juges.

23 Mais s’il y a un accident, tu donneras vie pour vie,

24 œil pour œil, dent pour dent, main pour main, pied pour pied,

25 brûlure pour brûlure, blessure pour blessure, meurtrissure pour meurtrissure.

26 Si un homme frappe l’œil de son esclave, homme ou femme, et qu’il lui fasse perdre l’œil, il le mettra en liberté, pour prix de son œil.
