THE MESSAGE
"Anyone who hits and kills a fellow human must be put to death. Anyone who kills someone's animal must make it good—a life for a life. 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."

Then brought they him vnto Moses. His mothers name was Selomith, the doughter of Dibri, of the trybe of Dan. 12 And they put him in preson, tyll they were infourmed by the mouth of the LORDE. 13 And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, and sayde: 14 Brynge him that cursed, out of the hoost, and let all the that herde it, laye their handes vpon his heade, and let the whole congregacion stone him. 15 And saye vnto the childre of Israel. Who so euer blasphemeth his God, shall beare his synne: 16 and he that blasphemeth the name of the LORDE, shal dye the death. The whole congregacio shal stone him. As the straunger, so shal he of the housholde be also. Yf he blaspheme the name, he shal dye. 17 He that slayeth a man, shall dye ye death. 18 but he that slayeth a beest, shall paye for it.

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.
