Anyone who injures his neighbor will get back the same as he gave: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. What he did to hurt that person will be done to him. Anyone who hits and kills an animal must make it good, but whoever hits and kills a fellow human will be put to death. And no double standards: the same rule goes for foreigners and natives. I am God , your God."

Contextual Overview
10 The son of an Yisra'elite woman, whose father was a Mitzrian, went out among the children of Yisra'el; and the son of the Yisra'elite woman and a man of Yisra'el strove together in the camp: 11 and the son of the Yisra'elite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moshe. His mother's name was Shelomit, the daughter of Divri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 They put him in custody, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of the LORD. 13 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 14 Bring forth him who has cursed outside of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 You shall speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 He who blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemes the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death. 17 He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 18 He who strikes a animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19 If a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. With the sword, as the Targum of Jonathan adds; which restrains it to any man of the children of Israel, but wrongly; for the original law respects any man whatever, Genesis 9:6; and so it does here;
Genesis 9:6- :.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 24:17. He that killeth any man — Blasphemy against God, i. e., speaking injuriously of his name, his attributes, his government, and his revelation, together with murder, is to be punished with death: he that blasphemes God is a curse in society, and he who takes away, wilfully and by malicious intent, the life of any man, should certainly be put to death. In this respect God has absolutely required that life shall go for life.
