But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life —
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 22–36
The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use, for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we must be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us.
