18 Celui qui frappera un animal mortellement le remplacera: vie pour vie.

19 Si quelqu’un blesse son prochain, il lui sera fait comme il a fait:

20 fracture pour fracture, œil pour œil, dent pour dent; il lui sera fait la même blessure qu’il a faite à son prochain.

21 Celui qui tuera un animal le remplacera, mais celui qui tuera un homme sera puni de mort.
