Leviticus 24:20

24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth – just as he inflicts an injury on another person ⁴  that same injury ⁵  must be inflicted on him.

[22:5]  ¹ tn Heb “which there shall be uncleanness to him.”

[22:5]  ² tn The Hebrew term for “person” here is אָדָם (adam, “human being”), which could either a male or a female person.

[22:5]  ³ tn Heb “to all his impurity.” The phrase refers to the impurity of the person whom the man touches to become unclean (see the previous clause). To clarify this, the translation uses “that person’s” rather than “his.”

[24:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the man [אָדָם, ’adam].”

[24:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “just as he inflicts an injury…it must be inflicted on him.” The referent (“that same injury”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
