Contextual Overview

¹⁰Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan, had married an Egyptian, and they had a son. One day their son got into a fight with an Israelite man in camp and cursed the name of the Lord . So the young man was dragged off to Moses, ¹² who had him guarded while everyone waited for the Lord to tell them what to do. ¹³ Finally, the Lord said to Moses: ¹⁴ This man has cursed me! Take him outside the camp and have the witnesses lay their hands on his head. Then command the whole community of Israel to stone him to death. ¹⁵And warn the others that everyone else who curses me will die in the same way, whether they are Israelites by birth or foreigners living among you. ¹⁷ Death is also the penalty for murder, ¹⁸ but the killing of an animal that belongs to someone else requires only that the animal be replaced. ¹⁹ Personal injuries to others must be dealt with in keeping with the crime— ²⁰ a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth. ²¹ It's possible to pay the owner for an animal that has been killed, but death is the penalty for murder.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour,.... Does him any hurt or mischief, causes any mutilation or deformity in him by striking him:

as he hath done, so shall it be done unto him: not that a like damage or hurt should be done to him, but that he should make satisfaction for it in a pecuniary way; pay for the cure of him, and for loss of time, and in consideration of the pain he has endured, and the shame or disgrace brought on him by the deformity or mutilation, or for whatever loss he may sustain thereby; :- and
